Should damage be found that degrades the function or safety the sensor is to be replaced.
Digital silicon irradiance sensor.
Silicon irradiance sensors provide a simple and cost effective opportunity to monitor the performance of a solar system at any time.
A silicon solar cell can be used as an irradiance sensor because the short circuit current is proportional to irradiance.
Only if the real yield and the actual solar irradiance are measured in parallel you can realise component failures immediately.
Up to 1500 w m2 cell temperature measurement.
Pyranometers are sensors that measure solar radiation.
A recalibration is recommended at least every 3 years.
The sensors are built out of a monocrystalline si solar cell connected to a shunt.
Until the year 2010 more than 15000 sensors were sold worldwide.
Silicon irradiance sensors si sensor show a cost effective but rugged and reliable solution for the measurement of solar irradiance especially for the monitoring of photovoltaic pv systems.
