摘要

Solar irradiance, the fundamental energy emitted by the Sun, profoundly influences Earth’s climate. This energy flux undergoes modulation due to factors such as Earth–Sun distance, solar activity dynamics encompassing magnetism, solar wind, and sunspot occurrences. This study aims at precise solar irradiance measurement using a meticulously calibrated device developed inside our laboratory. Our rigorous measurements and meticulous analysis achieved a remarkable convergence between theoretical predictions and empirical observations. Notably, our estimated solar constant value derived from ground measurements stands at approximately 1329.86 W/m2, exhibiting notable proximity to established theoretical values. The assessment revealed an absolute error of about 30.94 W/m2, representing a relative error of 2%, thus highlighting the robustness of our method in approximating solar constant values. These findings not only validate the accuracy and reliability of our measurement methodology but also illuminate the complexities underlying solar irradiance variations.
