Silicon-cell insolometer automatically measures and totals amount of energy available in sunlight falling on the earth at specific location over selected period of time. Device incorporates single silicon solar cell as sensing element and relies on principle that short-circuit current from solar cell is directly proportional to amount of light that shines on cell.
