Computational program for accurate predetermination of irradiance and illuminance in connection with solar energy utilization
Abstract
The paper gives mathematical expressions for calculating solar irradiance and illuminance in terms of direct, diffuse, global, and reflected components for clear sky and overcast sky. The formulas can be implemented on computer. The following parameters are taken into consideration: latitude, date, time, degree of atmospheric turbidity, and orientation and inclination of the receiving surface.
