Solar tester?

Solar tester?

Is there a device that can measure the amount of solar energy potential in a certain area at a certain angle? Like a small solar panel that I can face towards the sky at different angles to figure out which direction and angle would be the best to place solar panels? The reason I’m wondering is because my roof faces west. I understand South is the most efficient, but I’m trying to figure out HOW MUCH more efficient. And if it would be worth it to tilt the panels South in a low pitch roof, or just add another panel or 2.
