Abstract: Abstract Solar radiation is one of the most important environmental factors for plant growth. In general it is known that radiation is generated from a material close to a blackbody. Solar radiation received at the earth’s surface varies with the season because of the planetary relation between the sun and the earth. Therefore, for cultivation in controlled environments, it is very important to calculate how much of the solar radiation we can utilize at a given place on the earth at a given time of the year.
