Renewable Energy, 2013, vol. 51, issue C, 124-131

Abstract: This work aims at assessing the performances of four models for their relative merits in estimating diffuse solar radiation on tilted planes for a southern location (Reunion Island). This comparative study benefits from a sound and consistent experimental set-up and is more detailed than the previous research works as 14 inclined planes are available for testing.
