The document describes a thermoelectric pyranometer, which is used to measure global solar radiation on a horizontal surface from 300-4000 nm. It contains a blackened copper-constantan thermopile covered by two concentric glass domes that transmit radiation. The thermopile generates a voltage proportional to incident radiation, typically around 5 microvolts per watt per square meter. It can be used for instantaneous measurement and continuous recording of global, diffuse, and reflected solar irradiance.

Thermoelectric Pyranometer
To measure global radiation usually on a horizontal surface. Measures solar irradiance from 300-4000 nm Sensor: Blackened copper constantan thermopile covered with two concentric glass domes which are transparent to radiation from 300-4000 nm. Generated emf by thermopile is proportional to incident radiation. The typical value is approximately 5 micro Volts/watt/sq. metre Used for instantaneous measurement and continuous recording of Global, Diffused, Reflected Solar irradiance.

Limitation of Flat Plate Collectors
Heavy in weight Suitable for low temperature up to 1000c Not suitable for large scale power generation. Tracking cannot be possible Low collector efficiency Due to fix tilt Loss of power collection The collector glass surface & reflector surface collects dust, dirt & moisture- Reduce the collector efficiency.
