Reducing Pyranometer Error: Why Irradiance Accuracy Starts in Plant Design, Siting & Construction
Accurate irradiance data is the backbone of solar project performance, bankability, and long-term investor confidence For EPCs, it shapes everything from yield assessments and energy modeling to commissioning acceptance tests and contractual guarantees. But this reliability depends on a critical assumption: the irradiance measurements used to validate performance are accurate. Even the most advanced pyranometers are exposed to environmental,...
