  • Page 11: Calibration

    Recalibration of field pyranometers is typically done by comparison in the field to a reference pyranometer. The applicable standard is ISO 9847 “International Standard- Solar Energy- calibration of field pyranometers by comparison to a reference pyranometer”. At LSI LASTEM an indoor calibration according to the same standard is used.
