Pyranometer and Pyrheliometer are two instruments that are used to measure solar irradiance. Both are similar in their objective though have differences in their design and working principle. This article attempts to highlight these differences.
Pyranometer is a dome like structure that measures diffused sun energy while Pyrheliometer is an instrument that measures direct sun's energy. Both are often used in conjunction in meteorological research stations. While Pyranometer measures global solar radiation, Pyrheliometermeasures direct solar irradiance
