Abstract: We are presenting a note on comparative study of diffuse component of solar radiation on tilted surface with different angle of inclination. The monthly mean daily diffuse radiation have been calculated on inclined surfaces from the data of horizontal surface using the Circumsolar and Isotropic model and the anisotropic model of Klucher and Hay at Lucknow (Latitude 26.75°, Longitude 80.85°), Uttar Pradesh, India. These calculated results are compared with our measured value. The comparison shows that Klucher model who considered the effect of cloudy sky conditions gives comparatively good estimations particularly at low inclination angles.
