SR15-A1

Analogue first class pyranometer with heater

SR15-A1 is a high-accuracy solar radiation sensor. It is “First Class” according to the ISO 9060:1990 standard and “Spectrally Flat Class B” in the 2018 revision. With its on-board heater, it is compliant in its standard configuration with the requirements for “Class B” PV monitoring systems of the new IEC 61724-1:2017 standard. SR15-A1 offers analogue millivolt output.

  • Best measurement accuracy in first class
  • Improved response time
  • With on-board heater: compliant with IEC 61724-1 Class B in its standard configuration

Description

PV System Performance Monitoring: Compliant with IEC Class B

IEC 61724-1: Photovoltaic System Performance Monitoring – Guidelines for Measurement, Data Exchange and Analysis – requires heating for Class B monitoring. SR15-A1, with its on-board heater, offers Class B compliance without the need for additional accessories.

Improved Measurement Accuracy

Calibration of SR15-A1 pyranometer has been improved; our latest calibration method results in an uncertainty of the sensitivity of 1.8 %, compared to typical uncertainties of higher than 2.8 % for this pyranometer class. SR15-A1’s zero offset a is 5 W/m² unventilated. SR15-A1’s response time is < 10 s, a significant improvement relative to earlier sensors.
