Introducing the SEVEN Class A Thermopile Pyranometer

SEVEN introduces the newly developed Class A Thermopile Pyranometer—a cutting-edge solution designed for high-precision solar radiation monitoring in PV plants, meteorological stations, and research applications. But what exactly is a thermopile pyranometer?

What is a Pyranometer?

Pyranometers are specialized instruments designed to measure the Global Horizontal Irradiance (GHI), which is the power of solar radiation received on a given surface area. These devices are essential tools for renewable energy applications, meteorology, agriculture, and environmental research.

While the solar irradiance measurement is very important for understanding and optimizing solar energy systems, the selection of right instrument is not less important.

Recognizing the growing market demand, SEVEN developed a new Thermopile Pyranometer to deliver high-accuracy irradiance measurement and meet industry standards.

Features of the SEVEN Class A Thermopile Pyranometer

The Class A pyranometer of SEVEN Sensor is fully compliant with IEC 61724-1:2021 and ISO 9060:2018 standards, ensuring high-precision irradiance measurements for accurate performance ratio calculations. The low zero-offset and the minimal non-stability are key criteria that define a Class A pyranometer. To achieve these performance criteria, SEVEN developed its pyranometer by using the white diffuser instead of a traditional black body and a single dome. With its innovative design, the SEVEN Class A Pyranometer enhances measurement stability, reduces thermal offsets, and improves angular response for superior data accuracy.
Additionally, the SEVEN Thermopile Pyranometer is equipped with an LED indicator, providing real-time feedback on its operational status. This ensures users can quickly verify that the sensor is functioning properly, reducing downtime and improving system reliability

To sum up, the key features & benefits of the new SEVEN Class A Pyranometer are:

• International Standard Compliant – “ISO 9060:2018, fast-response, spectrally flat and Class A” and “IEC 61724-1:2021 Class A”.
• White diffuser technology – Enhances stability, minimizes temperature effects.
• Fast Response – Ensures accurate and real-time solar radiation measurements.
• Built-in LED indicator – Quick sensor checking
• Superior thermal performance – Reduces measurement errors under fluctuating conditions
• Easy integration – Fully compatible with SCADA systems and dataloggers
• Weather-resistant – Designed for long-term outdoor Operation
• Fast installation – Plug-and-play setup for minimal downtime
