Silicon solar radiation sensor
The sensor FAR61xx is intended for continuous measurements of global radiation (W/m²), that is the sum of the direct solar radiation and the diffuse sky radiation.

The pyranometers measure the global irradiance on a flat surface (W/m²); sum of direct solar irradiance and diffuse irradiance.
The PCTRA119...124 models falls within the Spectrally Flat Class A pyranometers according to the ISO 9060:2018 standard and meets the requirements of the WMO “Guide to Instruments and Methods of Observation”.

The PCTRA107...112 models falls within the Spectrally Flat Class C pyranometers according to the ISO 9060:2018 standard and meets the requirements of the WMO “Guide to Instruments and Methods of Observation”.
The PCTRA128 ventilation and heating unit allows increasing the accuracy of solar radiation measurements maintaining the operating temperature of the sensor uniform. Ventilation reduces the type “A” offset (present in pyranometers and pyrgeometers) due to cooling of the dome with respect to the sensor body.
It can be used outdoor in any weather condition and avoids the formation of dew and frost on the optical part of the sensor.
The PCTRA127 Spectrally Flat Class A albedometer is composed by 2 Class A Pyranometers: the perfect solution for precise and efficient measurement of surface reflectivity and solar radiation.
The PCTRA103 sensor belongs to an economical range of ISO 9060 class C pyranometers for measurement of global solar radiation received by a plane surface, in W/m², from a 180° field of view angle.
The PCTRA055 measures the net radiation across a surface, from near ultraviolet to far infrared. The Net radiation is defined as the difference between the radiation that reaches the upper surface and the irradiation on the lower surface of the net radiometer.
The PCTRA092 radiometer measures the global effective irradiance on a flat surface (Watt /m² effective), according to the requirements of the WMO for the measurement of UV-index.
The cleaning of photovoltaic modules is fundamental to ensure the maximum economic yield of a solar power generation system.
It is in this area, through the calculation of losses due to surface dirt, that the PCTSS000 sensor finds its application.
