PYR Sensor
Easy-To-Use Pyranometer
Measure total solar radiation
The PYR total solar radiation sensor (pyranometer) measures the solar radiation flux density (in watts per meter squared) from a field of view of 180 degrees.
Weatherproof for long-term use
The sensor is designed for continuous outdoor use and is completely waterproof and submersible.
Accuracy
Accurate measurement depends on the cleanliness of the lens and installation of the sensor at horizontal (180°). The sensor head has a domed diffusion disk to reduce the need for frequent cleaning. A leveling plate is included for accurate installation.
