Solar Radiation Sensor (Pyranometer) | Total Irradiance Measurement 0–4000 W/m²

This total solar radiation sensor, commonly referred to as a pyranometer, measures the total shortwave solar radiation received on a horizontal surface across a 2π hemispherical field of view. Using a thermopile-based passive sensing principle, the sensor generates a micro-voltage proportional to the incident solar radiation flux (W/m²), ensuring stable and repeatable measurements without active electronics.

The dual glass dome design significantly reduces thermal offset and environmental measurement errors, improving long-term accuracy and consistency. With no moving parts and a fully passive construction, the sensor is ideal for continuous outdoor deployment in harsh climates.

Rated to internationally recognised meteorological standards, this pyranometer is suitable for solar resource assessment, photovoltaic performance analysis, meteorology, climate research, and smart weather station integration.
