Abstract
A simple algorithm is presented for the evaluation of the spectral distribution of the solar radiation on a horizontal surface as a function of the measured total solar irradiance (global radiation). The method, valid for industrial applications (agriculture, aging of materials, etc.), is based on a triangular representation of the spectrum. Straight line algorithms between 300 and 465 nm and 465 and 900 nm are used, which are functions of the global radiation and mean adjustment coefficients. Our method has been tested on a complete year of spectral observations at eight wavelengths, as well as on typical spectral distributions for clear and overcast skies.
