SR20 is a pyranometer of the highest category in the ISO 9060 classification system: secondary standard. This solar radiation sensor is used where the highest measurement accuracy is required. It measures the solar radiation received by a plane surface, in W/m², from a 180 ° field of view angle. Improved measurement accuracy In order to improve overall measurement accuracy, Hukseflux effectively targeted two major sources of measurement uncertainty: calibration and “zero offset a”. The initial calibration uncertainty is reduced to less than 1.2 %, an improvement of 15 % relative to competing models. The “zero offset a” specification of SR20 is 5 W/m² unventilated. Competing models state 12 W/m² unventilated and 7 W/m² ventilated. Demanding applications The temperature dependence of every individual instrument is tested and supplied as a second degree polynomial. This information can be used for further reduction of temperature dependence during post-processing. SR20’s low temperature dependence makes it an ideal candidate for use under very cold and very hot conditions. The incorporated heater reduces measurement errors caused by early-morning dew deposition. SR20 pyranometer design SR20 pyranometer uses a state of the art thermopile sensor with black coated surface, two domes and an anodized aluminum body. The connector, desiccant holder and sun screen fixation are ultra-robust and designed for industrial use. All parts are specified for use across SR20’s entire rated operating temperature range.

The pyranometer is compliant in its standard configuration with Class A requirements of the new IEC 61724-1 standard. SR30 is “Secondary Standard” in the ISO 9060:1990 standard and “Spectrally Flat Class A” in the ISO 9060:2018 revision. It is the ideal instrument for use in PV system performance monitoring and meteorological networks. Heated for high data availability, featuring new RVH™ technology High data availability is attained by heating of the outer dome using ventilation between the inner and outer dome. RVH™- Recirculating Ventilation and Heating – technology, developed by Hukseflux, suppresses dew and frost deposition and is as effective as traditional ventilation systems, without the maintenance hassle and large footprint. The dome of SR30 pyranometer is heated by ventilating the area between the inner and outer dome. RVH™ is much more efficient than traditional ventilation, where most of the heat is carried away with the ventilation air. Recirculating ventilation is as effective in suppressing dew and frost deposition at 2 W as traditional ventilation is at 10 W. RVH™ technology also leads to a reduction of zero offsets. Compliant with IEC 61724-1:2017 Class A and B IEC 61724-1: Photovoltaic System Performance Monitoring – Guidelines for Measurement, Data Exchange and Analysis – requires ventilation and heating for Class A monitoring. The SR30 complies with both, without the need for additional accessories.

EKO’s new generation sensors broke the rules of traditional pyranometer architecture. The innovative patented design was inspired by the combination of latest technologies and state-of-the-art thermopile sensor, enabling a breakthrough in unprecedented low zero-offset behavior and fast sensor response. The compact sensor with a single dome, based on an isolated thermopile detector and Quartz diffusor is immune to offsets and integrates all optional value-added functions such as a ventilator, heater and different industrial interfaces. The heater and ventilator are suggested, particularly in areas impacted by dew, frost, snow, and dust. The MS-80A is an MS-80 with a built-in 4-20mA converter and MS-80M with built-in MODBUS converter. They are compatible with the industrial output standards. Due to the ultra-low temperature dependency and exceptional non-linearity characteristics, the converter guarantees an optimal sensor performance, under any environmental conditions. For each sensor, the directional response and temperature dependency are measured and validated through a measurement report that comes with the sensor. EKO provides a unique calibration compliant to the international standards defined by ISO/IEC17025/9847.

The MS-802 Pyranometer is a Secondary standard reliable reference sensor to measure global broad-band radiation with high precision. It is used as a standard in PV research and climatological studies around the world. A high quality double-dome construction is adopted to improve the accuracy of the measurement and to minimize unwanted thermal offsets. The ventilation unit of the MS-802F model will reduce the deposition of dust, dew, frost, snow. For each sensor the directional response and temperature dependency are measured and validated through a measurement report that comes with the sensor. EKO provides a unique calibration compliant to the international standards defined by ISO/IEC17025/9847.
