PYRANOMETERS

Measure solar irradiance across the sky-facing hemisphere.

WHAT IT IS

Radiometers designed to measure solar irradiance incident on a plane from the hemisphere above the sensor.

WHAT IT DOES

Converts incoming shortwave solar radiation into calibrated data for resource, performance and meteorological analysis.

WHAT IT MEASURES

Global solar irradiance or plane-of-array irradiance, depending on the instrument orientation and installation.

WHERE IT IS USED

PV plants, solar-resource assessment, meteorological stations, research facilities and long-term irradiance monitoring networks.
