About Sunshine Recorder

Sunshine Recorder Description

The Sunshine Recorder is a meteorological instrument used to measure the duration of bright sunshine at a specific location. It records the number of hours of direct sunlight received during the day by focusing sunlight onto a recording card using a glass sphere.

The instrument works when sunlight passes through the glass sphere and burns a trace on the specially designed card placed behind it. The length of the burnt trace indicates the duration of sunshine. It is widely used for weather studies and solar energy assessment.

The device is made from durable, weather-resistant materials to ensure accurate performance under outdoor conditions. It is simple in design, requires minimal maintenance, and provides reliable long-term data.
