Solar Radiation Shield – UV & Rain Cover for Temperature & Humidity Sensors
Multi-plate solar radiation shield designed to protect outdoor temperature and humidity sensors from direct sunlight, rain, and UV exposure. Improves measurement accuracy by reducing solar heating error.
This solar radiation shield provides protective housing for outdoor temperature and humidity sensors, helping ensure accurate environmental readings in exposed installations.
Direct sunlight and radiant heat can cause temperature sensors to report artificially elevated readings. The multi-layered louvered design promotes natural airflow while shielding the sensor from:
-
Direct solar radiation
-
UV exposure
-
Rainfall
-
Environmental debris
By maintaining ventilation around the sensor element, the shield reduces heat buildup and improves measurement reliability in agricultural, residential, research, and light commercial weather monitoring systems.
Constructed from durable, weather-resistant materials, the unit is suitable for long-term outdoor deployment and integrates with compatible compact temperature and humidity transmitters.
