|    measure solar constant    |
|    21 May 14 08:24:44    |
      Hi all,       Well a question came up about measuring the solar constant.       (how many watts/m**2)       And I thought of measuring the short circuit current from a photodiode.       But then you'd have to have some "fudge factor" that convolutes the       PD responsivity with the solar spectrum.       Does anyone have a good guess for the fudge factor?              Say for a garden variety PD...              Thanks              George H.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
