Easy to wire
Simple three-pin connection made it easy for me to get started. Documentation could be more detailed, but there are plenty of tutorials online.

Perfect for DIY Weather Stations
This module works flawlessly with my Arduino Uno. The analog output is stable and correlates well with local UV index reports. Highly recommended for hobbyists.

Fast Response Time
I use this for a solar panel tracker. The voltage changes immediately when clouds pass over. Very satisfied with the performance.

Good value but needs calibration
The sensor is sensitive and responsive. However, you will need to calibrate it yourself if you want accurate UV index numbers. Great for relative measurements.
Q: Is the sensor waterproof for outdoor use?
A: No, the module itself is not waterproof. You should house it in a waterproof enclosure with a UV-transparent window for outdoor applications.
Q: Does this detect UVB rays as well as UVA?
A: The GUVA-S12SD sensor primarily detects UVA radiation within the 240nm to 370nm range.
Q: Is this module compatible with 3.3V logic boards like ESP32?
A: Yes, the operating voltage range is 2.5V to 5.0V, so it works perfectly with 3.3V systems.
Q: What is the maximum current consumption?
A: The module consumes very low power, typically less than 10mA during operation.
Q: Is there a specific Arduino library required?
A: No specific library is needed. You can read the output using the standard analogRead() function.
