Abstract
The invention shows a sensor for measuring diffuse solar irradiance including: an hemisphere having an approximately 2π steradian solid opening angle with a non-transparent layer and a transparent aperture pattern, the transparent aperture pattern providing a near-uniform transmission of the diffuse radiation as seen from near a center of the hemisphere, an aperture being an area occupying a part of the hemisphere surface area that is smaller than 2% and two or more light-sensitive sensors arranged in an array near the center of the hemisphere such that under any position of the sun relative to the sensor at least one of the two or more light-sensitive sensors is shaded from direct solar radiation by the hemisphere with aperture pattern.
