RANGE OF EXPERIMENTS TO BE CARRIED OUT :

• To Measure solar radiation flux density.

TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION :

Photovoltaic pyranometer is a derivation of the photodiode pyranometer . this pyranometer is also known as "reference PV cell", "irradiance sensor", "solarimeter", "solar sensor" . The active part of the sensor is composed of a photovoltaic cell working in near short-circuit condition. As such, the generated current is directly proportionate to the solar radiation hitting the cell in a range between 350 nm and 1150 nm .

A photovoltaic pyranometer is essentially assembled with the following parts:

• A metallic container with a fixing staff
• A small photovoltaic cell
• Signal conditioning electronics
• Silicon sensors such as the photodiode and the photovoltaic cell vary the output in function of temperature
