Continuously measuring solar irradiance is key to making sure solar projects are as profitable as possible. But pyranometer sensors must be able to withstand harsh conditions and be able to communicate with other equipment. EKO sees its pyranometer offers a good solution.
EKO’s patent pending new generation ISO 9060 secondary standard sensor broke with the tradition of common pyranometer architecture and performance standards. The design enables unprecedented low thermal offset behavior and fast thermopile response. The MS-80, ISO 9060 secondary standard solar sensor can be left outdoors unattended for long periods of time, and provide high acccuracy under all atmospheric conditions, even when deployed in harsh environments such as rain, snow or winds. The device also offers a ventilator, heater and communication options.
