Definition:
Solar energy is the energy received by the earth from the sun. This energy is in the form of solar radiation, whichmakes the production of solar electricity possible.
Solar energy is the most ancient source, and it is the rootmaterial for almost all fossil and renewable types.
Among the renewable energy sources, solar energy comesat the top of the list due to its abundance, and more evenlydistribution in nature than any other renewable energytypes such as wind, geothermal, hydro, wave and tidalenergies.

Solar and Earth Radiation Pyranometers
Measures temperature difference between an absorbing (black) plate and a non-absorbing (white) plate. Thermopile converts temperature difference of plates to avoltage difference
Glass shield keeps out LW radiation, keeps ambient wind from affecting the heatgain/loss of the black plate, and protects from contamination of black surface

A sunshine recorder is a device that records the amount of sunshine at agiven location. The results provide information about the weather andclimate of a geographical area. This information is useful in metrologyscience, agriculture, tourism and other fields.
There are two basic types of sunshine recorders. One type uses the sunitself as a times scale for the sunshine readings. The other type uses someform of clock for the time scale.
Older recorders required a human observer to interpret the results; recordedresults might differ among observers. Modern sunshine recorders use
electronics and computers for precise data that do not depend on a humaninterpreter. Newer recorders can also measure the global and diffuseradiation
