Simple Solar Spectral Model for Direct and Diffuse Irradiance on Horizontal and Tilted Planes at the Earth's Surface for Cloudless Atmospheres

Research output: NREL › Technical Report

Abstract

This report presents a new, simple model for calculating clear-sky direct and diffuse spectral irradiance on horizontal and tilted surfaces. The model is based on previously reported simple algorithms and on comparisons with rigorous radiative transfer calculations and limited outdoor measurements.
