GantnerSilicon Irradiance Sensor

SHARE

Silicium irradiance sensors enhance your monitoring system and provide it with powerful functions for a precise on-site performance calculation and a reliable recogition and alerting, when an error occurs. Silicon irradiance sensors provide a simple and cost-effective opportunity to monitor the performance of a solar system at any time.

Only if the real yield and the actual solar irradiance are measured in parallel, you can realise component failures immediately. Also faults, which are affectiong the performance of the solar system only little, can be recognised much better and therefore eliminated earlier.

Everybody, who wants to ensure, that the PV solar system runs at best performance, cannot abandon to use a silicon irradiance sensor.

  • Built completely as a solar module, therefore extremly good comparability to energy yields and system performance of PV systems, temperature compensation for higher accuracy
  • The optional cell temperature is a very good alternative to directly measured module temperature and leads to a higher accuracy in yield forecasting
  • Solar cell: monocrystalline silicon
  • Measurement: possible up to 1400 W/m2 (depending on sensor type)
  • Working temperature: – 20°C to 70°C
  • Electrical connection: via 3m cable, uv and weatherproof
  • Case, protection mode: powder-coated aluminum, IP 65
  • Error with temperature compensation compared to pyranometer within the operating range of -20 °C to 70 °C and vertically beam of irradiance): ± 5 %
