Low-Cost Solar Irradiance Meter using LDR Sensors

Abstract

Solar irradiance is the designation given to the power emitted by the sun per unit of area, in particular that is transmitted in the form of electromagnetic radiation. This is an important variable to be considered in the orientation of projects that consider solar energy, such as: in meteorological research, remote sensing, buildings natural lighting and in the energy sector for the correct sizing of power capture system [1].
