Sun photometer
350 - 1050 nm | PGS 100 Kipp & Zonen

PGS 100 is a spectrophotometer for the routine automated measurement of the spectrum of direct solar radiation. It must be mounted on an automatic sun tracker, such as the Kipp & Zonen SOLYS 2 or 2AP.

PGS 100 comes with Windows control and data logging software. The instrument must be connected via the RS 232 port to a computer (not included) running the supplied software in order to operate. The measured spectra are displayed directly on-screen and can be analysed using wavelength selection tools.

PGS 100 provides spectral data that can be post-processed by the user (software not included) to derive a variety of parameters, including:

* optical depth
* energy distribution
* absorption by atmospheric gasses
* aerosol properties
