Solar Radiation at a Site of Known Orientation on the Earth's Surface.
Abstract
Attenuation of solar radiation as a function of hour angle is expressed as a Fourier cosine series. A simple procedure is derived for calculating total direct daily radiation at a site with known latitude and orientation.
