Amprobe SOLAR-100 [3474979] Solar Power Meter. The Amprobe SOLAR-100 solar power meter is used to optimize the placement of solar systems and verify window efficiency. The SOLAR100 measures solar output that is used to calculate overall energy, efficiency and placement of solar systems. Amprobe SOLAR-100 solar power meters measure the solar power and transmission up to 2000 W/m2, 634 BTU/(ft2xh). The SOLAR-100 has both power mode and transmission mode. Power mode measures the power per unit of area incident solar radiation. The transmission mode calculates the solar power transmission percentage of the material for example how much solar power in % will be transmitted through the window. The SOLAR-100 has an easy to read display with remote sensor technology, MAX/MIN functions, data hold, and selectable measurement units.
