CONDOR
Portable Solar Reflectometer
CONDOR - Portable Solar Reflectometer
The CONDOR measures reflectance with a high level of reliability in six wavelengths, characterizing the response of a mirror at different wavelengths along the sun spectrum applying the ISO9050 and ASTM-G173 standards. The equipment has several optical channels made up of an LED-type light source and a photodiode, which detects the radiation reflected in the central wavelength of the LED. It is designed to work outdoors without influence of the ambient light in the measurements. The mirrors that CONDOR characterizes can be flat or curved, as well as reflection on the first or second side and with different thicknesses. The equipment has excellent performance outdoors, in conditions of high external irradiation and high temperatures.
CONDOR provides you with the necessary information to optimize the cleaning strategy, minimizing cost and improving the solar field overall performance. It is used in solar plants and laboratories all over the world.
