The proposed instrument for solar irradiance measurement is based on an optical fiber as the light beam collector, a semiconductor photodiode to measure the optical power, and a calibration algorithm to convert the optical power into solar irradiance. The proposed radiometer offers the advantage of separating the measurement point, where the optical fiber collects the solar irradiation, from the place where the optical power is measured. A calibration factor is mandatory because the semiconductor photodiode is only spectrally responsive to a limited part of the spectral irradiance. Experimental tests have been conducted under different conditions to evaluate the performance of the proposed device. The measurements confirm that the proposed instrument performs similarly to the expensive high-accuracy pyrheliometer used as a reference.Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI)Ingeniería ElectrónicaTIC192: Ingeniería electrónicaTIC231: Fotónica de ComunicacionesMinisterio de Ciencia e Innovación (MICIN).
