Spectral Errors for Measurements with Silicon-cell Pyranometers:
Apogee SP series pyranometers are calibrated under electric lamps in a calibration laboratory. The
calibration procedure simulates calibration under clear sky conditions at a solar zenith angle of
approximately 45°. However, due to the limited spectral sensitivity of silicon-cell pyranometers compared
to the solar radiation spectrum (see graph below), spectral errors occur when measurements are made in
conditions that differ from conditions the sensor was calibrated under (e.g., the solar spectrum differs in
clear sky and cloudy conditions, thus measurements in cloudy conditions result in spectral error because
sensors are calibrated in clear sky conditions).

Spectral response of Apogee SP
series pyranometers compared to
solar radiation spectrum at Earth's
surface. Silicon-cell pyranometers,
such as Apogee SP series, are only
sensitive to the wavelength range
of approximately 350-1100 nm,
and are not equally sensitive to all
wavelengths within this range. As a
result, when the spectral content
of solar radiation is significantly
different than the spectrum that
silicon-cell pyranometers were
calibrated to, spectral errors result.
