PYR2-420 is an ISO 9060 Class C (Second Class) Thermopile Pyranometer.
It has a simpler construction than the Class B, but uses the same high quality materials.
Note: the terms irradiance sensor, photovoltaic pyranometer, reference cell and solarimeter are interchangeable. On this site we will use photovoltaic pyranometer. To learn more click here.
