The EKO Instruments MS-80SH is a next-generation, ISO 9060 Class A pyranometer designed for highly accurate solar radiation measurement. It delivers fast-response, spectrally flat performance, making it suitable as a secondary standard for precise solar monitoring applications. Featuring a compact design, the MS-80SH incorporates internal desiccation, a single dome over a quartz diffuser, and a thermally isolated thermopile detector. These innovations minimize thermal offsets, reduce temperature dependency, and provide exceptional linearity for reliable measurements
