The Kipp & Zonen Pyrheliometer Models CHP1 and SHP1 are high-precision instruments designed for measuring Direct Normal Incidence (DNI) solar radiation with a 5° field of view. The CHP1 provides analog voltage output (0–1 V), while the SHP1 offers RS-485 Modbus® RTU and 4–20 mA amplified analog outputs, ensuring flexible data integration. These Class A ISO 9060:2018 certified pyrheliometers cover a spectral range of 200–4000 nm, with an expected output range of 0–1400 W/m², operating from -40°C to +80°C. Supplied with standard cables and mounting accessories, they are primarily used in meteorological stations, solar energy research, and concentrated solar power (CSP) applications, typically mounted on sun trackers for accurate measurements.
