Photovoltaic pyranometers are used in solar simulators and alongside photovoltaic systems for the calculation of photovoltaic module effective power and system performance. Because the spectral response of a photovoltaic pyranometer is similar to that of a photovoltaic module, it may also be used for preliminary diagnosis of malfunction in photovoltaic systems.

Reference PV Cell or Solar Irradiance Sensor may have up to 5 inputs ensuring the connection of Module Temperature Sensor, Ambient Temperature Sensor, Wind speed sensor, Wind Direction Sensor, and Relative Humidity, with only one Modbus RTU output connected directly to the Datalogger. This feature is one of the main differences between the Thermopile Pyranometer and the Irradiance Sensor.
