System, pyranometer, method and computer program product for measuring the solar radiation

Abstract

The present invention relates to a system for measuring the solar radiation, a pyranometer for measuring the solar radiation, a method for measuring the solar radiation and a corresponding computer program product. According to an aspect, there is provided a system for measuring the solar radiation, comprising: a solar radiation measuring sensor configured to measure a solar radiation at a measuring rate; a data logger; and a control unit operatively connected to the solar radiation measuring sensor and to the data logger; wherein the control unit is configured to calculate based on a selectable averaging function at least one average value of the solar radiation measured by the solar radiation measuring sensor over a specified number of solar radiation samples, wherein the data logger is configured to at least partly record the at least one average value of the solar radiation calculated by the control unit at a recording rate, and wherein the control unit is configured to determine the recording rate of the data logger and further configured to select the selectable averaging function from a plurality of averaging functions for calculating the average value based on the recording rate of the data logger.
