We experimentally evaluate and correct the non-equivalence between electrical and radiative heating of solar irradiance absolute radiometer to compensate the systematic error of radiant power measurement at ambient pressure. A relative difference of the order of 0.08%–0.27% between electrical and radiative heating sensitivities is shown, and the resulting non-equivalence correction factor is calculated. The radiant power measurement equation is modified using the non-equivalence correction factor, a systematic deviation of 0.19% of radiant power measurement is hence eliminated.
