Description

Accurate and reliable

The silicon pyranometer measures the global solar radiation, which is the sum at the point of measurement of the direct, diffuse and reflected components.

It consists of a high accuracy silicon photodiode located inside an anodized aluminium casing. The cutting ring provides an excellent cosine response. Each sensor is calibrated against a secondary standard under natural light. It includes a 5 meters long cable.
