Solar Radiation Shield

Want to measure outdoor temperature and humidity?

If you set up your sensor without a suitable enclosure, then it may not read the correct temperature –direct sunlight or wind onto the sensor can cause in-correct readings.

A solar radiation shield like this one protects the sensor from direct sunlight and strong winds, while still allowing it to read the humidity and air temperature.

This is a little solar radiation shield has been designed for a AHT21 temperature and humidity sensor. It could also house other sensors.

This unit is laser cut from acrylic, with a few other items of M3 hardware. It is comprised of layers which build up to create the enclosure. Screws at the top and bottom hold it all together.
