Incidence meters [RE-wrenches]

[sunwise]

Greetings Larry,

Due in part to a series of posts on this list, I bought a Daystar hand
held meter.  If I remember correctly it was around $130 delivered
(www.raydec.com/daystar).  

I would like to hear about other experiences with this meter.

I must say I have been impressed, or maybe even a little concerned, at
how frequently the Daystar meter indicated a watts/m2 above 1,000 this
last summer.  On a number of days where it felt really hot from a
human/solar perspective, I pulled out the Daystar and it indicated we
were receiving on the order of 1,200+ watts per sq. meter (Northern most
point in WI, sometimes 4 hours past solar noon).  Is this what we should
be seeing up here or might the meter be somewhat optimistic?

Kurt Nelson
