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.
