The article analyzes the Earth's surface insolation. For the analysis, two methods are described - the method of approximate calculation and turbidity method using Linke turbidity index. The methods consider the latitude of current location on the Earth's surface, atmosphere attenuation and other major factors. To obtain more accurate values, long-...

In order to plan a reasonable exploitation of solar energy it is essential to have the appropriate knowledge of the spatial and temporal distribution of the resource; that is to say, of the global solar irradiation that reaches the earth’s surface in the area of interest. The majority of sensors used in the region are inadequate or do not provide s...
