The sun radiates a tremendous amount of energy, called solar energy or solar radiation, which is the main natural source of energy on the Earth, by far. Because

Solar radiation data is important for a wide range of applications, e.g. in engineering, agriculture, health sector, and in many fields of the natural sciences.

The rather specialized field of solar and infrared radiation measurement has become more and more important in the face of growing demands by the renewable ener
