PYRHELIOMETERS

Measure the direct beam of solar radiation from the sun.

WHAT IT IS

Solar radiometers designed to measure radiation arriving directly from the solar disc.

WHAT IT DOES

Uses a narrow field of view, normally while aligned with the sun, to isolate direct solar irradiance from diffuse sky radiation.

WHAT IT MEASURES

Direct solar irradiance, commonly used as the direct-normal component when the instrument is correctly aligned.

WHERE IT IS USED

Solar-resource assessment, concentrating solar projects, research facilities, meteorological stations and reference radiation networks.
