Pyranometer calibration
Accredited calibration of pyranometers by ENAC according to ISO 9847, with tests available year-round in our laboratory, ensuring accuracy and reduction of turnaround times (48h) in controlled conditions to guarantee the quality of irradiance measurements.
Description of the service
The measurement of solar radiation and the energy generated are key aspects for calculating the performance of a photovoltaic plant and, therefore, for verifying compliance with contractual obligations or investment plans. In this process, pyranometers play a fundamental role by providing reliable data on the amount of solar radiation received, allowing for precise calculations and informed decision-making.
At CIRCE, we are internationally accredited by ENAC/ILAC for the calibration of pyranometers, being the only laboratory accredited to perform this service with a solar simulator in Southern Europe.
(Service accredited by ENAC/ILAC at international level. You can consult in the following link our scope of accreditation).
In our facilities, we can perform the calibration of pyranometers at any time of the year, according to the indoor calibration procedure by comparison with a standard pyranometer as outlined in the ISO 9847 standard.
Once we receive the equipment at our headquarters, we can complete the work within hours. Depending on the number of pyranometers received, they can be sent back to your plant within 48 hours.

Value proposition
Quality of measurements
Ensuring the quality of irradiance measurements and performance calculation of solar plants.
No seasonality
Calibration can be performed at any time of the year, as it takes place indoors and is not subject to environmental conditions and seasonality.
More agile
The calibration process is faster as it occurs indoors under controlled conditions.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Cualquier piranómetro para el que dispongamos de un piranómetro de referencia del mismo fabricante y tecnología previamente calibrado por el World Radiation Center (PMOD/WRC) en Davos, Suiza. Esto incluye, entre otros, los piranómetros de marcas principales como Kipp & Zonen, Hukseflux o EKO.
Nuestro laboratorio portátil tiene la capacidad de calibrar hasta 20 piranómetros en una sola jornada.
Para la calibración de sistemas registradores disponemos de un laboratorio de metrología específico en las instalaciones centrales de CIRCE.
