Accurate irradiance measurements play an important role in solar performance monitoring. They support performance ratio calculations, asset management decisions, warranty verification, and long-term performance assessments.
Because irradiance data serves as the reference point for many operational and financial evaluations, the quality of the measurement directly influences the confidence that stakeholders can place in the resulting insights.
Choosing the right pyranometer therefore involves more than selecting a sensor that meets a specification. It requires understanding how measurement uncertainty, environmental conditions, and long-term stability can affect data quality throughout the life of a project.
In this webinar, our experts Craig and Udo explain the role of pyranometers in PV performance monitoring and share practical guidance on selecting the right instrument for different applications. They also explore the standards that govern irradiance measurements and discuss how seemingly small measurement errors can influence performance assessments over time.
