Hi!
Do you guys sell solar radiation sensors?
If not, where can one purchase one for a reasonable price?
Thanks
Regards,
Kan

How will I be able to measure solar radiation using this sensor?

Do you have a source document for what you are trying to measure? If so, post a link and I'll take a look at it.

I am looking to purchase a sensor that is capable of measuring solar radiation. I am building a weather station that will be attached to a solar tracking table. The weather station will need to measure parameters such as temperature, humidity, wind speed, wind direction, UV radiation and most importantly solar radiation. The sensor needs to be able to easily connect to an Arduino.
I do not have a source document. The most I can do is send you my project brief/outline.
Would that be useful in determining how to assist me?
Thanks!

Kan,
I want to know exactly what you mean by "measuring solar radiation". Based on what you say above, it looks like
shop.switchdoc.com/products/grove-sunlight-ir-uv-i2c-sensor
Will do what you want.

Hi,
I want to know the solar radiation flux density.
Is that more clear?
Thanks.

Well, I would guess you can use the sunlight detector to calculate that. You will need to do some research to convert the readings from the Sunlight Sensor to your solar radiation flux.

kan did you figure out how to calculate this? If so, would you mind sharing?

Kan,
We aren't planning to calculate the Solar Flux. That will be something you need to research how to do. And by all means post it back here for all of us to learn!
