Abstract: A calculation method of the accumulated probability curves from the solar fraction provided by plants with interseasonal solar energy storage is proposed. The variability of the insolation sequences was achieved by randomly generating the monthly clearness indices according to normal distribution, and subsequently, the values of daily available energy by means of Markov’s matrix library [5]. The results obtained from simulations of the generated sequences of collected energy were subjected to experimental verification.
