Reference Cell

High-Precision Solar Measurement

The RR-1070A reference cell for solar irradiance monitoring is designed for next-generation PV performance analysis. It is more than a sensor; it provides accurate and traceable irradiance data across all photovoltaic technologies. Therefore, researchers, test labs, and PV system operators can rely on consistent and precise measurements.

Spectral Correction for All PV Technologies

Every RR-1070A reference cell includes a measured External Quantum Efficiency (EQE) curve. This allows precise spectral mismatch corrections for all PV modules—from silicon to thin-film and emerging technologies. As a result, you can calculate performance ratios (PR) and yield metrics with confidence.

Compact, Stable, and Reliable

The RR-1070A features a 20 × 20 mm encapsulated crystalline silicon solar cell. Calibrated to the AM1.5G spectrum, it delivers stable and repeatable data. Moreover, its rugged design ensures low maintenance and long-term stability in both laboratory and field conditions.

Seamless Integration

Integration is straightforward. The RR-1070A connects easily with the EKO M-Box Modbus converter, providing digital output of irradiance and temperature. In addition, its modular design supports EKO pyranometers and PT-1000 temperature sensors. This creates a complete system for comprehensive solar resource measurement and PV performance evaluation.
