I have been testing the uv sensor and solar cell without any protective cover, with the UV transmission percentage set to 100. If rain is forecast, I put them in a plastic ziplock freezer bag. I will try lowering the percentage to get a more realistic uv setting. The solar cell is very well calibrated, very similar readings to a couple of nearby Davis stations.
Perhaps of interest, I have found that covering the sensors with freezer bag doesn't change UV or solar readings - same readings if sensors are behind the plastic or not. They are Ikea freezer bags.
