A microcontroller based six wavelength sunphotometer (EARTHSun) and a pyranometer (EARTHPy) was developed in this study. EARTHSun made used of Six (6) Intor® photodiodes with different wavelengths while EARTHPy made used of a BPW21 photodiode. EARTHPy was cross calibrated using a Kipp and Zonen ® CM...
