The RSB-01 Rotating Shadow Band is a compact, all-weather spectral GHI, DHI and DNI measurement system designed for use with EKO spectroradiometers. By automatically moving a precision shadow band between unshaded, solar-blocking and correction positions, the RSB-01 separates global, diffuse and direct spectral irradiance while using a single spectroradiometer. Its integrated GPS receiver simplifies location and time configuration, while RS-422 communication, PC or data-logger control and horizontal or plane-of-array installation make it a practical alternative to conventional multi-sensor sun-tracker systems where installation space or budget is limited.
