Pyranometer by Kipp & Zonen Measurement of Solar Irradiance

Kipp & Zonen pyranometers have been developed for use in all weather conditions – from arctic to desert climates. They are used all over the world - in meteorology, hydrology, climate research, to record solar radiation, in materials testing, to monitor greenhouses, in building automation - to name just a few applications. In the field of photovoltaics, pyranometers are used mainly in the areas of research and development, and in utility-scale systems.

Of course, we can also offer you specially adapted transducers and mounting hardware.
