Abstract: Accurate measurements of solar irradiance are important in many applications such as studying the distribution of received radiation or estimating the final yield of photovoltaic systems This paper deals with evaluation of different types of pyranometers. The primary objective of this paper is to compare two types of pyranometers, with the use of mathematical model for predicting solar radiation on incline surface. The mathematical model shows that both types of pyranometers receives the highest annual average solar radiation with a surface facing 189° south and inclination angle of 44°. The results in this paper show that the deviation between silicon photodiode and thermopile pyranometer mostly occur, due to irregular calibration, frequent cleaning and errors of silicon photodiode pyranometer under overcast sky conditions.Keywords: pyranometer, solar radiation, azimuth angle, inclination angle, accuracyPublished in DKUM: 04.12.2023; Views: 392; Downloads: 38 Full text (18,06 MB)This document has many files!
