PyranoCam: Simple measurement system for all components of solar irradiance in arbitrary planes

Kurzfassung

Accurate, robust and cost-efficient measurements of different solar irradiance components in arbitrary planes are of great interest for solar energy applications. A wide range of costeffective and robust measurement systems are currently available on the market. Available measurement techniques exhibit at least one of these shortcomings: intensive maintenance, high acquisition cost, increased deviations or restrictions to single planes (global tilted irradiance). PyranoCam is a robust and inexpensive setup of a thermopile pyranometer and an all-sky imager (ASI) for measurements of GHI, DHI, DNI and GTI (for any arbitrary plane)
