Scientific paper

This article describes a simple method suitable for an undergraduate laboratory to measure solar luminosity with a photodiode. Using an uncalibrated photodiode, the results of this method are typically accurate to about 10%. Corrections are required for the photodiode spectral response along the solar Planck curve, and for the sunlight absorbed in the Earth's atmosphere. A value for the solar constant may also be obtained.
