Remarks

・Ht:Hourly irradiance in the plane of the PV array.
・KT:Monthly Average Clearness Index. 0.3(for very overcast climates) and 0.8(for very sunny locations).[2].
・φ:Latitude.North(+),Siuth(-).
・δ:Declination of Sun.North(+),Siuth(-).
・ωs:Solar Hour Angle at Sunset.
・β:Tilt of Photovoltaic array.
・ρ:『Diffuse reflectance of the ground(also called ground albedo)』(Reference[2]).
・『Ground albedo is set to 0.2 if the average monthly temperature is greater than 0°C, 0.7 if it is less than –5°C, with a linear interpolation for temperatures between these values.』(Reference[2]).
・H0(J/m^2/day , Wh/m^2/day):Monthly Average Extraterrestrial Daily Solar Radiation on a Horizontal Surface.
・H(J/m^2/day , Wh/m^2/day):Monthly Average Daily Global Solar Radiation on a Horizontal Surface.
・Hd(J/m^2/day , Wh/m^2/day):Monthly Average Daily Diffuse Solar Radiation on a Horizontal Surface.
