The best pyranometer for PV monitoring systems is SR20-D1 by Hukseflux, the most accurate digital solar radiation sensor commercially available

Munich (ots) - Hukseflux Thermal Sensors is a leading manufacturer
of sensors for solar radiation measurement. The company, based in
Delft, the Netherlands, has now added the SR20-D1 digital secondary
standard pyranometer to its range of solar radiation sensors. SR20-D1
outputs irradiance digitally in W/m2. SR20-D1 pyranometer is of the
highest category in the ISO 9060 classification system: true
secondary standard. The instrument is a smart solution for
utility-scale PV power plants in measuring solar radiation for PV
system performance monitoring. Among SR20-D1's benefits are the
lowest measurement uncertainty and ease of data acquisition and
servicing in networks. It is the most accurate digital pyranometer
commercially available.

SR20-D1 is designed for PV system performance monitoring, for
scientific meteorological observations, as a reference instrument for
comparisons and for use in extreme climates (tropical / polar). The
pyranometer uses a state of the art thermopile sensor with black
coated surface, two domes and an anodised aluminium body. The
connector, desiccant holder and sun screen fixation are very robust
and designed for industrial use. SR20-D1 uses a high-end 24-bit A/D
converter. All parts are specified for use across the entire rated
operating temperature range.

Communication protocol is the industry standard Modbus RTU over
2-wire RS485. Specifications like this make SR20-D1 ideally suited
for employment in SCADA and DCS networks, often used in PV monitoring
systems. For communication between a PC and SR20-D1, the Hukseflux
Sensor Manager software is included. It allows the user to plot and
export data, and change the SR20-D1 Modbus address and its
communication settings. SR20-D1 may be used combined with ventilation
unit VU01 for ventilated high-accuracy solar radiation measurements.
