Solar irradiance is power per area received from the sun. Solar irradiance is an important variable that affects the solar panel output. Monitoring of solar irradiance can use a pyranometer sensor.

Researchers in Denmark claim to have identified the best locations for rear plane-of-array irradiance sensors on the back of single-axis trackers in bifacial PV projects. Their work suggests how ...

NASA has awarded a sole source contract to the Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics (LASP) at the University of Colorado Boulder for the Total and Spectral Solar Irradiance Sensor-2 (TSIS-2).
