Resumen:
In recent years, the teaching of experimental science and engineering has been revolutionized by the integration of smartphone sensors, which are widely used by a large portion of the population. Concurrently, interest in solar energy has surged. This raises the important question of how smartphone sensors can be harnessed to incorporate solar energy studies into undergraduate education. We provide comprehensive guidelines for using smartphone sensors in various conditions, along with detailed instructions on how to calibrate them with widely accessible clear-sky satellite data. This smartphone-based method is also compared with professional reference measurements to ensure consistency. This experiment can be easily conducted with most smartphones, basic materials, and a clear, open location over a few hours (methods). The findings demonstrate that smartphones,
combined with simple resources, can accurately measure solar irradiance and support experiments on solar radiation physics, atmospheric interactions, and variations in solar energy across locations, cloud cover, and time scales. This approach provides a practical and accessible tool for studying solar energy, offering an innovative and engaging method for measuring solar resources.
