What Is a Pyranometer? Understanding Solar Radiation Measurement
What Is a Pyranometer? A pyranometer is a specialized instrument used to measure solar radiation flux density (W/m²) from a hemispherical field of view. It plays a critical role in meteorology, climatology, solar energy systems, and agricultural research. How It Works Pyranometers operate based on the thermoelectric effect. A blackened sensor absorbs solar radiation, generating […]
