Instrument for measuring direct-beam solar irradiance
A pyrheliometer is an instrument that can measure direct beam solar irradiance.[1] Sunlight enters the instrument through a window and is directed onto a thermopile which converts heat to an electrical signal that can be recorded. The signal voltage is converted via a formula to measure watts per square metre.
