Quantifiying the Great American Solar Eclipse 2017
During the Great American Solar Eclipse of 2017, Dr. Bruce Bugbee, president of Apogee Instruments and a professor at Utah State University, deployed a suite of sensors in the path of totality in Rexburg, Idaho to measure various environmental…

New Product: 4-20 mA Output Pyranometer (SP-214)
Solar radiation is usually measured in agricultural, ecological and hydrological studies. The need for power conservation has increased the use of pyranometers in industrial and energy applications, such as solar power and building monitoring. Thes…

Why Silicon-cell Pyranometers are the best choice for monitoring PV panels
Sensors that measure the available solar energy, pyranometers, are an excellent way to monitor the performance of solar photovoltaic panels. They can indicate changes in panel efficiency over time (80% of initial output after 25 years for crystalli…
