Increasing Application of Pyranometers in Photovoltaic Systems, Climatology, and Meteorology Fuels the Europe Pyranometer Market
Solar energy is the use of sunlight to generate electricity or heat, and pyranometers are used to measure the amount of available solar energy. In photovoltaic systems, pyranometers are used to measure the solar irradiance that hits the solar panels. This calculated value is used to measure the panels' power output and ensure that they are operating at their maximum efficiency. Additionally, the pyranometer used in the solar energy industry monitors the performance of PV power plants. On the basis of a pyranometer reading, the efficiency of the PV power plant can be determined by comparing the actual power output from the PV power plant to the expected output. Several companies such as Apogee Instruments and Soluzione Solare S.r.l offer pyranometers, which are applied in PV systems. In climatology, pyranometers measure the amount of solar radiation that reaches the Earth's surface. This information is used to study climate change and develop Earth's atmosphere models. Climatology is the study of climate, and pyranometers are used in climatology to measure solar irradiance over long periods. Therefore, the increasing application of pyranometers in photovoltaic systems, climatology, and meteorology is driving the pyranometer market growth.
Europe Pyranometer Market Overview
The pyranometer market is experiencing considerable growth due to the increasing interest of the European Union (EU) in delivering innovative solutions for global health, technology, and climate challenges. In November 2021, the European Council formed a new collaboration between the European Union's Member States and industries to introduce creative solutions to overcome health, transportation, energy, digital technology, and metrology concerns. Moreover, research and innovations in product development are expected to fuel the pyranometer market growth in the region. Several metrological research and development (R&D) organizations are working on pyranometer product developments to reduce soiling losses in PV systems. For instance, in November 2022, an international research group led by Spain's DLR Institute of Solar Research developed Radguard, a novel system that calculated the soiling losses in PV systems. Radguard used a PV reference cell for ~45 minutes at night or a lamp to illuminate a pyranometer. The lamp is secured from soiling by a 25-cm collimator, as scientists stated its importance in maintaining the device's appropriate functioning and the lamp's fixed position.
