Abstract

This study investigated on constructing a low cost solar irradiance meter that can be protected by automatic closing system. It determined the needed features of the device, the difference between the measurements recorded by the constructed device as compared to the PASCO/ IR Light Sensor, the experiments that may be performed using the constructed device and the evaluation of the experts and professionals on the device as to functionality, and design & marketability. The instruments used underwent expert validation. The study employed experimental and descriptive methods. The data were gathered from 30 experts who evaluated the constructed device in terms of features and marketability. On the other hand, 30 students of EARIST Manila evaluated the constructed device in terms of functionality and marketability. Results revealed that the Low Cost Solar Irradiance Meter with Automatic Closing System has an innovative design and has new features based on the evaluation. It can measure solar irradiance or intensity efficiently. The measurement of the device is comparable to the result of the IR Light Sensor of the PASCO. There is no significant difference between the result of the calibrated device and the PASCO IR Light Sensor. The constructed device is more affordable compared to the commercial solar irradiance meter.
