Description of the equipment
A pyranometer is a sensor that converts the global solar radiation it receives into an elec-trical signal that can be measured. Pyranom-eters measure a portion of the solar spec-trum. A photodiode-based pyranometer is composed by a housing dome, a photodiode, and a diffuser or optical filters. The photodi-ode has a small surface area and acts as a sensor.

Pyrheliometer
Pyrheliometer
A pyrheliometer is an instrument for meas-urement of direct beam solar irradiance. Sunlight enters the instrument through a window and is directed onto a thermopile which converts heat to an electrical signal that can be recorded. The signal voltage is converted via a formula to measure watts per square metre.

Temperature Humidity Meter (Fluke 971)
Temperature Humidity Meter (Fluke 971)
A humidity sensor (or hygrometer) senses, measures, and reports the relative humidity in the air. It therefore measures both mois-ture and air temperature. The warmer the air temperature is, the more moisture it can hold. Humidity meters, otherwise known as hygrometers, measure the quantity of water vapour in the air. Keeping humidity levels in check helps to maintain comfortable working and living environments whilst enabling safe storage of materials such as wood.

Heat Flux Sensor
Heat Flux Sensor
Heat flux sensor designed for high-intensity radiation measurements. Heat is absorbed in a thin metallic circular foil, which act as con-stant temperature reservoir. This heat is then transferred radially (parallel to the absorbing surface) to a heat sink made of copper weld-ed around the foil's circumference. Heat flux sensors are instruments that can be mount-ed on or into a material in order to directly measure the amount of thermal energy that is flowing through it due to all three modes of heat transfer; conduction, convection & radi-ation.

Parabolic Solar Cooker
Parabolic solar cookers use a parabolic-shaped reflector to direct sunlight to a small area in order to generate heat for cooking. They are able to reach high temperatures, 350 °C (662 °F) or higher, which allows them to be used for grilling and frying. Solar para-bolic cookers usually have a disk around them, which is concave and focuses the sun's rays. These cookers can reach a higher tem-perature than the solar box cooker or solar panel style cooker.
