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 […]
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.

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 […]
What is the difference between calibration and adjustment
Calibration and adjustment are two similar processes that are often confused and wrongly used interchangeably. This article aims to clear up the differences. The National Physics Laboratory clearly explains the key differences between CALIBRATION and ADJUSTMENT: Calibration Calibration is defined as a set of operations that establish, under specified conditions, the relationship between the values […]
Solar radiation measurement: solarimeters 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 […]
Calibration of thermopile and photovoltaic pyranometers
Until recently, calibration was done by taking the classic thermopile pyranometer as reference, because we, the testers, had only that tool as a reference. Yes, even we calibrated our primary sensors by comparison with a pyranometer, albeit the best one on the market: a Kipp & Zonen Secondary Standard. But, from months of comparative surveys, […]
