SOLAR ENERGY

Solar energy is radiant light and heat from the sun harnessed using a range of

technologies.

Harnessed using Solar heating, solar photovoltaics, solar thermal energy, solar

architecture and artificial photosynthesis.

HISTORY

In 1897, Frank Shuman, a U.S. inventor, engineer and solar energy pioneer

Shuman built the world’s first solar thermal power station in Egypt, between 1912

and 1913.

PYRANOMETERS

Pyranometers are used to measure global and diffuse solar radiation.

Components

1. Thermopile

2. Glass dome

USE

Meteorology, climatology, solar energy studies and building physics

PYRHELIOMETER

A pyrheliometer is an instrument for measurement of direct beam solar irradiance.

Components

1. Protection cap

2. sensor

3. thermopile

USE

Meteorology, material testing research, and assessment of the efficiency of solar collectors and photovoltaic devices.,

SENSORS

HEAT FLUX SENSOR

A heat flux sensor is a transducer that generates

an electrical signal proportional to the total heat rate

applied to the surface of the sensor.

SUNSHINE DURATION SENSOR

Sunshine duration is defined as the time during

which the direct solar radiation exceeds

the level of 120 W/m².

SUNSHINE RECORDER

A sunshine recorder is a device that records the amount of sunshine duration at a given

location.

The most commonly used is CAMPBELL-STOKES recorder.
