Development of a Low Cost Pyranometer
Development of a Low-Cost Pyranometer
KiloWatts for Humanity is a nonprofit that builds renewable power stations in third world countries. Our pyranometer measures the light energy that interacts with their solar panels. This data helps to understand when solar panels are underperforming or need maintenance. Creating a reliable, cost effective alternative will aid in improving people’s lives and fostering sustainable business.
