Which type of device is used to measure solar irradiance on a planar surface?(a) Pyranometer(b) Net radiometer(c) Gardon gauge(d) PyrheliometerI have been asked this question during an interview.This is a very interesting question from Solar Radiation Measurement in portion Solar Energy of Energy Engineering

Answer»

Correct answer is (a) PYRANOMETER

For EXPLANATION I would say: A Pyranometer is a type of actinometer used for measuring solar IRRADIANCE on a planar surface and it is designed to measure the solar radiation flux DENSITY from the HEMISPHERE above within a wavelength range 0.3μm to 3μm.
