5.5 Installation for measuring diffuse radiation

For the diffuse radiation to be measured, the direct radiation on the pyranometer's glass dome must be
blocked. The direct radiation can be blocked using a static shadow ring or an automatic dual-axis tracker.

to be regularly adjusted. The data recorded must be revised.
