Abstract

Determination of the hourly solar radiation received during the average day of each month is primordial for calculating the solar collector performance throughout the day. The long term models provide the mean hourly distribution of global radiation over the average day of each month. Given the long term average daily total and diffuse irradiation on a horizontal surface it is possible to find the long term hourly solar radiation. Values of can be obtained from either ground measurement data or satellite data. Satellite data provide information about solar radiation and meteorological conditions in locations where ground measurement data are not available. For solar radiation calculation, Daily integration approach (Model DI) was used as the hourly radiation model.
