Solar radiation sensors are also known as pyranometers. A type of actinometer, these devices are used for measuring broadband solar irradiance as well as solar radiation flux density, which means that they measure the power of the light and heat from the sun. When placed on a flat surface, pyranometers can be used for identifying solar radiation. The term pyranometer comes from the Greek word pyr, which means fire, and ano, which means sky Pyranometers work by measuring the number of small units of light, known as photons that impact a physical or chemical device located within the instrument. Solar radiation sensors are typically not powered due to the fact that the components located in the device either are influenced by or react to solar radiation in a direct manner.
