Global Precision Pyranometer Model GPP
OVERVIEW
A pyranometer is used to measure the total energy from the sun. When leveled in the horizontal plane, this is called the Global Shortwave Irradiance (GLOBAL) and when positioned in a plane of PV Array, it is called the Total Irradiance in the Plane of Array (TPA). Inverted, a pyranometer is used to measure the Reflected or Albedo Irradiance (ALBEDO). A pyranometer can also be shaded from the direct beam of the sun to measure the Diffuse Shortwave Irradiance (DIFFUSE). In 2013, Eppley introduced the ISO 9060 Secondary Standard SPP Pyranometer to replace the venerable PSP. For 2014, the design team was tasked with making a pyranometer targeted for the PV/CSP Industry that as “as good or better at a lower cost” and the GPP was introduced in 2015.
