Energy, 1979, vol. 4, issue 4, 531-536

Abstract: The purpose of this project was to develop a methodology for the validation of computer models used to predict the instantaneous radiation on a tilted surface, given the similar radiation on the horizontal surface. However, the resulting methodology was also used to evaluate algorithms used to predict horizontal radiation from surface and cloud cover statistics as well as the radiation model used in program SOLCOST4 which predicts the expected mean daily total radiation for a specific surface and location using primarily the per cent of possible sunshine value.
