Solar Radiation Measurement Using Raspberry Pi and Its Modelling Using Artificial Neural Networks

The advent of solar energy as the best alternative to traditional energy sources has led to an extensive study on the measurement and prediction of solar radiation. Devices such as pyranometer, pyrrheliometer, global UV radiometer are used for the measurement of solar radiation. The solar radiation...
