Product catalog summary
Introduction
The SRA01 albedometer is designed to measure global and reflected solar radiation, as well as solar albedo. It consists of two identical Class C pyranometers with thermopile sensors, one facing upward and the other downward. The device complies with ISO and WMO standards.

Albedo Measurement
Albedo, or solar reflectance, is the ratio of reflected to global radiation. The SRA01 measures this using two pyranometers, with the upfacing one measuring global solar radiation and the downfacing one measuring reflected solar radiation. Albedo is calculated by dividing the reflected radiation by the global radiation.

Design and Installation
The SRA01 features a spectrally flat design, essential for accurate measurement of different solar radiation spectra. It is designed to fit a 3/4 inch NPS mounting tube and includes a bubble level for horizontal leveling. Optional longer cables and sun screens are available.

Applications
The albedometer is suitable for agricultural networks, meteorological observations, building physics, roof reflectance studies, climate studies, and solar collector testing.

Standards and Calibration
The SRA01 meets ISO 9060 and WMO-No. 8 standards, with calibration following ISO 9847 and ASTM G207-11 protocols. Calibration uncertainty is less than 2.4% (k = 2).

Specifications
- Measurement range: 0 to 2000 W/m2
- Spectral range: 285 to 3000 nm
- Sensitivity: 15 µV/(W/m2)
- Operating temperature: -40 to +80 °C
- Temperature response: < ± 3% (-10 to +40 °C)
- Standard cable length: 5 m

Options and Related Products
Optional longer cables and sun screens are available. Related products include higher accuracy albedometers (SRA300-D1, SRA200, SRA100) and alternative instruments like NR01 for solar and longwave radiation balance.

Analog Class C albedometer SRA01-2

SRA01 albedometer measures global and reflected solar radiation and solar albedo. It consists of two identical, spectrally flat Class C pyranometers with thermopile sensors—one facing upward to measure global solar radiation, the other facing downward to measure reflected solar radiation. SRA01 is fully compliant with the latest ISO and WMO standards. Albedo, also referred to as solar reflectance, is the ratio of reflected to global radiation. The solar albedo depends on the directional distribution of incoming radiation and on the surface properties at ground level. Albedos of typical surfaces...

The albedometer can be connected directly to commonly used data logging systems. More details on working principles and specifications of the pyranometers can be found in the SRA01 user manual. Applications Albedometers are used for general meteorological observations, building physics, roof reflectance studies, climate studies, and solar collector testing. Most applications require outdoor installation, as part of a meteorological station. Spectrally flat Since reflected solar radiation has a different spectrum than global solar radiation, it is essential to employ spectrally flat pyranometers...
