A photovoltaic systems manteinance bordering on perfection
It is already the 6th year that we have the Silicon irradiance sensors( PV reference cell) 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. Plant maintenance – the approach is always consistent Their approach remains […]
Sunmeter Pro Certified by Fraunhofer Institute
Sunmeter Pro Certified is a digital PV reference cell sensor ( photovoltaic pyranometer ) calibrated by Fraunhofer ISE (DAkkS-accredited) laboratory, for precise and reliable solar irradiance measurements in PV monitoring systems. Generally, the spectral response of a PV cell is limited at certain wavelengths by the ability of the semiconductor to absorb photons with energies […]
PV Reference Cell (Silicon Irradiance Sensor) Vs Thermopile Pyranometers
What Is a Pyranometer? In photovoltaic monitoring, a solar irradiance sensor is a device that measures the solar power (irradiance) falling on a surface. This measurement is essential because the performance of a PV system depends directly on how much sunlight it receives. Depending on their sensing technology, pyranometers are divided mainly into two categories: […]

The Instrumental Drift of Irradiance Sensor 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 […]
Solar Radiation Measurement Devices; The Productivity Of a Photovoltaic Solar Cell
Solar Radiation The electromagnetic radiation of the Sun is radiated by its photosphere, which is the region of the Sun we are able to observe. The Sun’s photosphere has an approx temperature of 6000K and emits electromagnetic radiation similar to a ‘black body’ at that temperature. The total power of the radiation emitted by the […]

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 as the […]
Irradiance sensors in PV plants: PV reference cell vs pyranometer Let’s get some clarity on reference standards
PV reference cell (photovoltaic pyranometer) and Thermopile Pyranometers: Understanding the Reference Standards Pyranometers are precision instruments used to measure solar irradiance, a critical parameter in photovoltaic (PV) system performance analysis. Depending on their operating principle, pyranometers are generally categorized into two types: thermopile pyranometers and photovoltaic pyranometers (also known as photovoltaic cell pyranometers, irradiance sensors, […]
Calibration vs. Adjustment, Accuracy vs. Precision: What’s the Difference?
Calibration and adjustment are two similar processes that are often confused and wrongly used interchangeably. This article aims to clear up the differences. The difference between Calibration and Adjustment The National Physics Laboratory clearly explains the key differences between CALIBRATION and ADJUSTMENT: The procedure is: Metrologically speaking, the International Vocabulary of Metrology, V.I.M ed.3, gives […]
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 […]
Solar Radiation Measurement: Irradiance Sensors and Pyranometers
The Sun’s surface (or photosphere), has a temperature of about 6000K and its behavior approximates that of a “black body”. Considering this, it is possible to calculate the total power emitted by the Sun as approximately 9.5×1025W. This total power emitted by the Sun is not composed of a single wavelength but many. Moreover, only […]
Find Out How to connect a sensor with 4-20 milliamps output to a Datalogger/PLC
4-20mA output sensors are widespread in the world. This is because the output in ‘current loop’ is the most robust and reliable kind of analogical output. When signal precision is needed, or datalogger-to-sensor distances are over 18m, or in case of electromagnetic disturbances, it’s necessary to use a sensor with output in current loop. On the […]
