Class C Pyranometer for Solar Radiation Monitoring
Equipment options & specifications
ISO 9060:2018 Class C thermopile pyranometer for 0–2000 W/m² global solar irradiance, with the output configuration selected for the site logger or RTU.
Appearance, connectors and included accessories follow the configuration confirmed in your quotation.
Ask for a sample or a small pilot. Availability, minimum quantity and sample charges depend on the selected model.
Price & delivery
Range, interface, accessories, quantity and destination affect the quote. Stock, lead time, freight, taxes and delivery terms need confirmation.
Warranty & support
Coverage, duration, exclusions and the fault-assessment process are confirmed for the quoted model before order.
Certificates & documents
Tell us the destination and required standard. We check the exact model, document revision and available evidence; a family listing is not certification.
Public documents describe this product family and selection options. Wiring, register maps and compliance documents must match the model and version selected for your order.

Select the output, supply and mounting scope together
The reviewed Class C documents support the performance values below. Output, supply, cable, mounting and calibration deliverables remain order-specific.
The reviewed instrument classification is ISO 9060:2018 Class C, with a 0-2000 W/m² range and 300-3200 nm spectral response.
Sensitivity is 7-14 µV/(W/m²). Non-linearity is below ±3%, response time is no more than 60 seconds to 95%, and annual stability is below ±3% per year.
Performance is expressed through the Class C component specifications rather than one generic accuracy number.
Show 3 more reviewed selection notes
Order one output configuration. Passive 0-20 mV needs no external supply; powered 4-20 mA, 0-5 V, RS485 Modbus RTU and SDI-12 versions use the supply defined for that ordered output.
The reviewed operating range is -40 to +80 °C with IP67 protection. Final cable, connector, mounting bracket and surge-protection scope are confirmed for the installation.
The reviewed calibration basis is ISO 9847, with a two-year recalibration interval. The quotation must state whether a calibration report or other traceability document is included.

Confirm that ISO 9060:2018 Class C performance is appropriate for the PV, weather, agricultural or environmental measurement objective.
Select one output that matches the logger or RTU: passive 0-20 mV, 4-20 mA, 0-5 V, RS485 Modbus RTU or SDI-12.
Match the supply to the selected output. Passive millivolt needs no external power; powered variants use the supply stated for that ordered configuration.
Define whether the sensor is mounted horizontally or in the plane of array, then review levelling, shading, horizon obstruction and cleaning access.

Compatible with
Passive millivolt data loggers with sensitivity-based scaling for the selected sensor

RS485 Modbus RTU masters or SDI-12 loggers on the corresponding ordered variant
Weather-station, PV monitoring and agricultural RTUs with suitable sampling and averaging logic
Typical package
ISO 9060:2018 Class C thermopile pyranometer
One ordered output configuration: passive 0-20 mV, 4-20 mA, 0-5 V, RS485 Modbus RTU or SDI-12
Matching logger, RTU or analogue acquisition input with the required scaling and averaging
Horizontal or plane-of-array mounting and levelling hardware confirmed for the site
Selected cable length, surge protection, field power and enclosure where required
Calibration-document scope, inspection plan and two-year recalibration interval recorded for the project
Applications
Sensor set, mast, solar supply, enclosure and probe placement are selected for the crop and site.
Use this Class C thermopile pyranometer to measure global solar irradiance from 0 to 2000 W/m² at PV, weather and agricultural monitoring sites. The reviewed family covers passive millivolt and several powered-output variants, but each ordered unit uses one selected output and its matching supply. Mounting plane, shading, cable, logger scaling and calibration documentation are fixed in the quotation rather than assumed from the family name.

Automatic weather-station global solar-radiation measurement
Agricultural evapotranspiration and irrigation-support datasets
Solar-resource assessment and environmental monitoring
Remote irradiance logging through a selected RTU, logger or acquisition gateway
The reviewed instrument is classified as ISO 9060:2018 Class C. Selection should use the published response, non-linearity, directional-response, temperature-effect and stability components instead of reducing performance to one unsupported generic accuracy number.
Which output should I choose?
Match the output to the site logger or RTU. Choose passive 0-20 mV for a compatible low-level input, 4-20 mA or 0-5 V for analogue acquisition, RS485 Modbus RTU for a serial master, or SDI-12 for a compatible environmental logger. One configuration is selected when ordering.
Does every output use the same power supply?
No. The passive 0-20 mV configuration needs no external supply. The powered variants use 5 VDC or 12-24 VDC depending on the selected output, so the output and supply must be quoted together.
How should the pyranometer be mounted?
Use a rigid, level and unobstructed location for global horizontal irradiance, or a reviewed plane-of-array bracket for tilted measurements. Record nearby shading, horizon obstructions, cable route, cleaning access and surge exposure before ordering.
What calibration documentation is included?
The reviewed calibration basis is ISO 9847 and the recommended recalibration interval is two years. The exact report, certificate or traceability documentation included with the order must be written into the quotation.
What should I provide when requesting a quote for the Class C Pyranometer for Solar Radiation Monitoring?
Application, measurement objective and required instrument class; Horizontal or plane-of-array mounting and site coordinates; Selected output and connected logger / RTU input; Sampling, averaging and reporting interval
Where can I compare available model options?
Open the Agriculture & Weather Hardware Catalog linked on this page. Use it to compare equipment options before requesting a configuration.
Will it work with my existing system?
Compatibility is reviewed against your field signals, protocols and upstream platform. Typical pairings include Passive millivolt data loggers with sensitivity-based scaling for the selected sensor, 4-20 mA or 0-5 V analogue inputs on the ordered powered-output variant, RS485 Modbus RTU masters or SDI-12 loggers on the corresponding ordered variant.
