Solar Radiation Sensor Pyra 300V

The Solar Radiation Sensor, or solar pyranometer, measures global radiation, the sum at the point of measurement of both the direct and diffuse components of solar irradiance. The sensor’s transducer, which converts incident radiation to electrical current, is a silicon photodiode with wide spectral response. From the sensor’s output voltage, the console calculates and displays solar irradiance. It also integrates the irradiance values and displays total incident energy over a set period of time.

Pyranometer is to be located far from any kind of obstruction, which might reflect sunlight (or sun shadow) onto the pyranometer itself.

The sunlight sensor must be installed at the same azimuth and tilt angle than the PV array.

Mounting

Using the bubble level on the sensor as a guide, adjust the sensor until it is level by tightening or loosening the screws. The top of the Solar Radiation sensor should be even with or slightly above the rim of the rain cone. The entire comb structure of the UV Radiation sensor should be above the rim of the rain cone.
Final leveling of the sensor(s) should be done with the ISS mounted in its operating location.
Ensure that the cables are free of crimps. Secure them to the support tubes with the provided cable ties so that they will not fray in the wind.
Shade the sensor and make sure the reading changes.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What makes a Class B pyranometer like PYRA 300-V suitable for performance monitoring? −
It provides accurate solar irradiance data for performance ratio (PR) calculations and loss diagnostics, as required in IEC 61724-1 Class B-compliant PV monitoring setups.
2. How does solar irradiance data help EPCs and asset managers? +
It enables real-time benchmarking of expected vs actual energy yield and helps pinpoint efficiency drops due to shading, soiling, or even equipment faults.
3. Can this sensor be used in harsh outdoor environments? +
Of course, The PYRA 300-V is designed for long-term field use with a waterproof body as well as anti-reflective glass dome for stable performance.
4. Does the sensor come factory-calibrated? +
Yes, each unit is factory-calibrated and ready for deployment. For compliance, recalibration is recommended every 2 years.
5. Can the sensor output be read by existing solar loggers? +
Absolutely, it provides standard analog (voltage) output, making it compatible with most industry-standard data loggers and inverter monitoring systems.
