Class C Pyranometer for precise measurement of global solar irradiance, compliant with ISO 9060 and WMO standards. Features direct microvolt (uV) output, WRR-traceable calibration, and spectral flatness for meteorological, agricultural, and solar energy applications. Ideal for solar panel monitoring and weather networks.
Accurate Solar Radiation Measurement
The DPA053A Class C Pyranometer delivers reliable global irradiance data for professionals in meteorology, agriculture, and renewable energy sectors. Engineered to ISO 9060:2018 standards and WMO No.8 guidelines, this spectrally flat sensor captures both direct and diffuse solar radiation across typical atmospheric conditions. Its robust design ensures consistent performance in outdoor environments, making it essential for solar farm efficiency analysis, crop management systems, and climate research stations.
Optimized for Energy Applications
Specifically developed for solar energy monitoring, this pyranometer enables precise performance evaluation of photovoltaic systems. The sensor's calibration directly references the World Radiometric Reference (WRR), providing the accuracy required for financial-grade energy reporting. Its low-maintenance design operates continuously in temperatures from -40°C to +80°C, delivering critical data for energy yield optimization and system fault detection.
