Calibration Traceability

Apogee Instruments SP series pyranometers are calibrated through side-by-side comparison to the mean of four Apogee

model SP-110 transfer standard pyranometers (shortwave radiation reference) under high intensity discharge metal halide

lamps. The transfer standard pyranometers are calibrated through side-by-side comparison to the mean of at least two ISO-

classified reference pyranometers under sunlight (clear sky conditions) in Logan, Utah. Each of four ISO-classified reference

pyranometers are recalibrated on an alternating year schedule (two instruments each year) at the National Renewable

Energy Laboratory (NREL) in Golden, Colorado. NREL reference standards are calibrated to the World Radiometric Reference

(WRR) in Davos, Switzerland.
