Comparison and interpretation of solarimetric station data (diffuse solar radiation, UVB radiation, temperature, and relative humidity) from January 2017 to November 2018 in Zacatecas

Abstract

In this research work, the data from the solarimetric station in Zacatecas during the period from January 2017 to November 2018 are compared and interpreted. The main objective is to analyze the climate and solar radiation characteristics in the region and identify possible correlations between variables. The methodology involved data collection using the solarimetric station and data processing in Excel. Hourly, daily, and monthly averages were calculated for diffuse solar radiation, UVB radiation, temperature, and relative humidity. In addition, graphs were generated using Excel, and two R codes were developed: one to obtain correlations among the analyzed variables and another to visualize the UVB index. This study provides a detailed analysis of climate data and solar radiation patterns in Zacatecas. The obtained results are relevant for the design and implementation of solar energy systems in the region and in areas with similar climatic conditions. In summary, this study compares and interprets the data from the solarimetric station in Zacatecas, aiming to understand the climate and solar radiation characteristics. The conducted analyses contribute to the development of solar energy strategies in Zacatecas and similar regions. solar radiation, climate analysis, Zacatecas.
