Abstract

See full text

The present invention concerns a method for the detection of sunlight with a detector arrangement that delivers an output signal as a function of incident sunlight. In the method a detector arrangement is deployed with an SiC-semiconductor detector, which is only sensitive to the UV-component of the incident sunlight. By the deployment of such a detector arrangement a disturbance of the sunlight detection by artificial light sources is to a large extent avoided, so that a more reliable detection of the sunlight is enabled.
