Abstract: Different correlations were used to predict monthly average global and diffuse radiation on a horizontal surface at Tripoli. The estimated results are then compared with the experimental data for the year 1989–1990. Using statistical tests the RMSE, MBE and MABE to evaluate these correlations, it was found that the Dogeniaux-Lemoin, and the Erbs-Klein and Duffie correlations are the best to predict the global and the diffuse radiation respectively.
