The pyranometer market size is expected to grow from US$ 97.20 million in 2023 to US$ 183.42 million by 2030; it is estimated to record a CAGR of 8.3% from 2022 to 2030.
A pyranometer measures solar irradiance from a hemispherical field of view incident on a plane surface. The sun is Earth’s foremost source of extra-terrestrial energy, which significantly impacts climate and weather as well as is a major part of energy production (by harvesting solar energy). Solar radiation is one of the prevailing forces behind the Earth’s weather patterns, which makes it a primary factor in climate and weather studies. In such studies, pyranometers are generally used to measure the Global Horizontal Irradiance (GHI) to analyze the irradiance incident on the surface of the Earth.
In the solar energy industry, pyranometer are deployed to analyze the performance of photovoltaic (PV) power plants. The productivity of the PV power plant can be analyzed by comparing the real power output from the PV power plant to the projected output based on a pyranometer reading. Pyranometers can also help in studying the relevance of probable sites for PV power plants. In this case, pyranometers are used to analyze the projected output of a PV installation. Furthermore, a pyranometer deployed in the solar panel plane of the array (POA) delivers important input data for calculating performance ratios in photovoltaic energy installations.
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.
Governments of Saudi Arabia, the UAE, South Africa, Brazil, Argentina, and many countries in the MEA and SAM are supporting PV installations for renewable energy generation. For instance, in March 2023, Noria Energy, a California-based solar developer, launched a 1.5 MW floating solar power system on the reservoir at Colombia’s Urrá Dam, the largest project of its kind in SAM. Therefore, the demand for pyranometers is increasing due to a rise in solar power plant installations, which is fueling the pyranometer market growth in the MEA and SAM.
Hukseflux Thermal Sensors BV, Delta Ohm Srl, Li-Cor Inc, Eppley Laboratory Inc, OTT Hydromet Corp, Lambrecht Meteo Gmbh, Apogee Instruments Inc, Campbell Scientific Inc, Delta-T Devices Ltd, Eko Instruments Co Ltd Co Ltd, and Hoskin Scientific Ltd are among the key pyranometer market players profiled in this pyranometer market study. Several other essential pyranometer market players were analyzed for a holistic view of the pyranometer market and its ecosystem.
