    FAQ

    A silicon solar radiation sensor uses a silicon photodiode to measure solar irradiance. It converts incident sunlight into an electrical signal that corresponds to radiation intensity.

    A silicon sensor measures radiation using a photodiode, offering faster response and lower power consumption, while a thermopile pyranometer provides broader spectral coverage (280–3000 nm) and higher accuracy for total solar irradiance.

    No. Silicon sensors only detect radiation within roughly 400–1100 nm, not the full solar spectrum. They are suitable for relative or trend-based irradiance monitoring.
