The present disclosure is directed to devices and methods for simultaneously sensing irradiance with multiple photo sensors having different orientations, and determining direct and scattered components of the irradiance. One such device includes an aerial vehicle and an irradiance sensing device. The irradiance sensing device includes a base structure mounted to the aerial vehicle, and the base structure including a plurality of surfaces. A plurality of photo sensors are arranged on respective surfaces of the base structure, with each photo sensor having a different orientation.
