The sun irradiation differs from site to DHI (Diffuse Horizontal Irradiation)
site. Thus it is essential to accurately • Measurement instrument:
measure the local irradiation to be able Rotating Shadow band Irradiometer, to design profitable solar power plants. Pyranometer with shadow ring or There are certain methods and suitable ball technologies to measure the irradiation: Application: PV
DNI (Direct Normal Irradiation)
• Measurement instrument: GHI (Global Horizontal Irradiation) Pyrheliometer installed on Sun • Measurement instrument: Tracker, Rotating Shadow band Pyranometer, reference cell Irradiometer Application: PV and CSP Application: CSP and large PV power plants
GTI (Global Tilted Irradiation) The more precise the measured
irradiation data is, the more precise you • Measurement instrument: can evaluate PV power plant’s yield at Pyranometer (tilted), the site. reference cell (tilted) Application: PV
