For the most part inward flowing fraction is NOT small and it depends on the glazing and framing configuration.

So the LiCOr is not perfect by any means, but it’s pretty good, given the coverage of the visible and shorter end of the near IR, which represent most of the energy in solar heat gain. So it’s a matter of how precise you need to be - LiCor gets you most of the way there, but you may need something more robust depending on the application.
