Hello,
I have completer weather station from Davis and it also includes Solar Radiation Sensor (pyranometer).
(Vantage Pro2 Plus with 24-Hr Fan Aspirated Radiation Shield)
I am confused with installation of pyranometer .
How do I install Pyranometer, shall I install straight horizontal (on pole along with rain collector) or should I install at the same angle as Solar panels (on solar structure)
I guess, if I install horizontal flat, then it would measure GHI, in that case I need to convert GHI to PoA, which I do not know how to convert.
For PR calculation, which one is better method?
Horizontal or at same angle of solar panel?
I saw many solar installations and they almost always install at Panel angle. Like photo shown below.
Please suggest and help.
Thanks
Sanket
