In this tutorial, we will interface Pyranometer Sensor with Arduino & measure Solar Radiation value.
A pyranometer is a type of sensor that measures the solar irradiance or the power of sunlight in watts per square meter (W/m²). The word “pyranometer” is derived from the Greek words “pyr” meaning “fire” and “ano” meaning “sky”. They are widely used in meteorology, climatology, solar energy studies, and agriculture to monitor and study the available solar radiation.
There are two types of Pyranometers, i.e. Thermopile Pyranometers and Silicon Pyranometers. In this project, we will use Thermopile Pyranometer from Renkeer. The sensor can measure solar irradiance between 0-2000W/m² with a resolution of 1W/m². The sensor works on RS485 protocol (4-20ma). Hence we will use MAX485 Module to request the output data.
Using the RS485 Module, the Pyranometer Sensor data is processed by Arduino in a readable format. Finally, the Solar Radiation value is displayed on a 16×2 LCD Display, interfaced with Arduino Board. The LCD can display the Solar Irradiance value. We will test the Pyranometer Sensor working under various sunlight conditions such as a clear sky or cloudy sky or under shadow. The variation in the sensor readings will the Solar Radiation strength or power of sunlight. The sensor can easily measure the solar irradiance between 0-2000W/m² with a resolution of 1W/m². The video tutorial is detailed and everything is explained for better understanding.

Much better than my college teachers teaching 💥👏 thank you sir...

[@user-ez9xo9ke8y]

Once again great content. You explain it so simply that it's really easy for anyone to understand and apply 👏👏 hats off to you 🙏

[@purity6541]

You teach very well and your explanation is easy ♥❤

[@diyprojectslab1689]

Very helpful- thank you! Wish I was more competent to keep up :)

[@skhdelhi]

Very good video , you have done good research before making this video . Kudos

[@shuvrasaha297]

Thanks for the nice tutorial. I have used MAX 485 module with arduino and all connections seems ok. But arduino is showing 0 Wm-2 always. Can you please advise what can be the possible reasons for error? I have followed everything as per your tutorial. Thank You.

Awesome sir g

[@devilal527]

Good job

[@aimanmohammed4232]

How can I make it on Arduino wifi ?

[@kucingganteng3536]

Why doesn't your code work on my arduino mega 2560, but it works on my arduino uno?

Good ❤

Hi
can you please provide any reference to read the same sensor with ADC pins on esp32
I tried but the values are not correct
Thank you

[@HowtoElectronics]

It does not work on ADC.
You need RS485.

[@pramanaputra779]

@@HowtoElectronics i used rs485 with rx pin and tx pin output, not used max485, but that can't used, why this problem?
