Pyranometer
Pyranometer
(OP)
I'm using a pyranometer that on it's side says to have an output unit of 4.55 V/(W*m^-2). I'm unsure how to interpret this unit, so if anyone has any experience with this I would appreciate it.

RE: Pyranometer
An example is that on the surface of the earth the maximum intensity of solar radiation is about 1000 W/m2. Your meter would read 1000 x 4.55 or 4500V. That seems rather high to me. Check the label again to see if it doesn't say 4.55 mV/W m2.
