New iso 9060 naming for thermopile pyranometers in 2018
Here is the new naming system for thermopile pyronometers, as of 2018. Old classification ISO9060 New classification ISO9060:2018 Secondary Standard Class A First Class Class B Second Class Class C In addition, there are newly developed thermopile pyranometers that have a fast response speed (under 0.5 seconds). They are classified as “Fast Response” and can […]
A photovoltaic systems manteinance bordering on perfection
It is already the 6th year that we have the irradiance sensors for an O&M in Foggia that manages 60 MW of plants: the ones managed by them stand out by the performance (around 84% and more) of the plants. PLANTS MAINTENANCE – THEIR RECIPE IS ALWAYS THE SAME Their recipe is always the same. […]

Photovoltaic and Thermopile Pyranometers: Let’s get some clarity on reference standards
PHOTOVOLTAIC AND THERMOPILE PYRANOMETERS: LET’S GET SOME CLARITY ON REFERENCE STANDARDS Pyranometers are devices used to measure solar irradiance. According to the operating principle, we distinguish the Thermopile Pyranometers from the photovoltaic one. The latter is called too photovoltaic cell pyranometer, irradiance sensor or reference cell. Each instrument has to follow specific regulations and metrological […]

An in-depth comparison of pyranometer technologies; PV and photovoltaic cell pyranometer: the ideal match
The Intrinsic qualities of thermopile and photovoltaic cell pyranometers To understand your options when choosing between a thermopile pyranometer and a photovoltaic cell, first here is a quick introduction. The classic thermopile pyranometer uses two series of thermocouples to measure the temperature difference between the series exposed to the sun and that in the shade. This provides […]
Our New Partnership Project – Agrivoltaics Technology Research in Ghana
THE AGRIVOLTAICS TECHNOLOGY PROJECT IS CONDUCTED BY THE BREW-HAMMOND ENERGY CENTRE OF KNUST IN GHANA, BY PARTNERING WITH SOLUZIONE SOLARE. The Agrivoltaics research activity of the KNUST is planned to setup in two sites (North and South Ghana). The Main Goal is to Strengthen National Innovation Systems for Diffusion and Market Development at the Water-Energy-Food […]
How do thermopile pyranometers work?
The physics behind the thermopile pyranometer Solar radiation can be measured according to the Seebeck effect. This thermopile effect is part of a physical phenomenon called thermoelectric effect, in which the temperature difference between two dissimilar electrical conductors produces a voltage difference. The potential difference between the two conductors kept at different temperatures is defined […]
Can I calibrate my solar and heat sensors myself?
In a word: No. DIY calibration is not a good idea. To ensure accuracy and precision, our products have to be calibrated by an authorized dealer.
Exciting news: sunmeter now compatible with solar log©; making monitoring your solar systems easier and more seamless than ever before
We’re thrilled to announce a collaboration with Solar Log,Thanks to this partnership, Sunmeter is now fully compatible with all models of Solar Log data loggers, making monitoring your solar systems easier and more seamless than ever before. Whether you’re a Solar Log user already or considering integrating Sunmeter into your solar setup, you’ll find our […]
The instrumental drift of solarimeter solar cells
Our factory use a stabilization treatment on the photovoltaic cells in our solar sensors. After years of recalibration experience we have observed that the instrumental drift in our sensors after 18 months is less than 3%. This data is very positive as it gives us proof that the preconditioning of the cell we developed has […]

New Product Sunmeter Pro Certified by Fraunhofer Institute
Sunmeter pro certified is a digital photovoltaic pyranometer (or silicon irradiance sensor) calibrated by fraunhofer ise (dakks accred.) Generally, the spectral response of a PV cell is limited at certain wavelengths by the ability of the semiconductor to absorb photons with energies within the band gap 350nm to 1150nm. For comparison, a Class A thermopile […]
New Product – Sunmeter Pro Bifacial
Sunmeter pro bifacial irradiance sensor is a combination of two digital photovoltaic pyranometers (or silicon irradiance sensors) for calculating bifacial photovoltaic plant performance with a high degree of precision and reliability. The sensor simply consists of two Sunmeter Pro photovoltaic pyranometers in which the upward facing pyranometer measures the incoming global solar radiation and the […]
Solarimeters vs pyranometers When monitoring the performance of solar plants and solar energy
When monitoring the performance of solar plants and solar energy, is it better using a silicon solarimeter or a pyranometer? When deciding between solarimeters and pyranometers, it is better to use a solarimeter (or silicon cell irradiation sensor) for the following reasons. Obviously, pyranometers have some advantages. In the downloadable PDF below, each of these four points […]
