Solar Radiation: Practical Modeling for Renewable Energy Applications

Written by a leading scientist with over 35 years of experience working at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory, this book brings together the most widely used, easily implemented concepts and models for estimating broadband and spectral solar radiation data. It addresses various technical and practical questions about the accuracy of solar radiation measurements and modeling. The majority of the book describes the most popular simple models for estimating broadband and spectral solar resources available to flat plate, concentrating, photovoltaic, solar thermal, and daylighting engineering designs.
