Abstract

The article discusses an analytical study aimed at examining the validity of a wide range of models for converting horizontal solar radiation to tilted solar radiation. Total solar radiation and its components falling on an inclined surface with different tilt angles and orientations are crucial for improving the simulation and performance of solar energy systems. Despite their significance, such data is often not readily available, posing a challenge for engineers and researchers in obtaining reliable data for use in the design and optimization of solar energy systems. Eighteen different models for converting horizontal solar radiation to tilted solar radiation were analyzed. These models were carefully selected to represent a diverse range of climatic and geographic conditions in 220 cities around the world. The suitability of these models was evaluated based on scientific and technical criteria, with a focus on their accuracy and high reliability in converting horizontal solar radiation to tilted solar radiation. These results serve as an important foundation for engineers and researchers to select the appropriate model for use in simulating and designing solar energy systems, contributing to improving the performance of such systems and achieving better results. This study is expected to support technological advancements in the field of solar energy and enhance its reliance as a sustainable energy source in the future.
