Solar Intensity Monitors

Whether you're planning your science experiment, growing hydroponics or just making sure you don't get too much sun when you weed the flowers, a solar intensity sensor is handy. When you compare wireless weather stations, you want to know that your kit will have a wireless solar intensity sensor.

Good choices include:

1) The Heathkit weather station ID-5001/WeatherQuest 5001
2) Oregon Scientific weather station WMR-968
3) Vantage Pro weather station and Vantage Pro 2 weather station, a brand of the Davis weather station

While you're in your greenhouse or garden monitoring the greenhouse effect, you can know thanks to your solar radiation sensor that it's time to slather on some more sunblock and reduce CFC emissions.
