SOLAR POWER METERS (Pyranometers)

A pyranometer is a type of actinometer used for measuring solar irradiance on a planar surface and it is designed to measure the solar radiation flux density (W/m2) from the hemisphere above within a wavelength range 0.3 μm to 3 μm.

Pyranometers are crucial parts of solar power meters. Applications include shortwave radiation measurement in agricultural, ecological, and hydrological weather networks. Pyranometers are also used to optimize photovoltaic systems.

Conformity with NIST standards is available for our pyranometers.
