METHOD OF MEASURING TOTAL SOLAR RADIATION ENERGY FALLING ON BUILDING, AND DEVICE FOR REALISING SAID METHOD Russian patent published in 2011 - IPC G01J11/00 

FIELD: physics.

SUBSTANCE: measurements are continuously taken relative each wall and roof of a building and recorded every 5-10 seconds during the entire period of observation, and solar radiation energy is determined using the formula: q=1000*V*K, where V is pyranometer voltage, mV; K is the coefficient of said pyranometer, W/(m²*mV). Values of solar radiation energy on each wall and roof of the building are added and the value of solar radiation energy falling on the entire building is obtained. The device is in form of a cross comprising 6 tubes attached at the centre at an angle of 90° relative each other, wherein four tubes lie in the horizontal plane with pyranometers attached at their ends, and the fifth tube with a pyranometer at its end is vertical.

EFFECT: invention increases accuracy of measuring solar radiation energy falling on a building.
