Insolation models have been recognized for many years in solar energy systems as important tools to determine radiations for locations lacking insolation data base. Unfortunately, for most geographical areas in Zambia, the insolation data is not available. Correlations between the daily measurements of global solar radiation and the meteorological parameters were presented in tabular form for the selected locations. A common relationship to estimate global solar radiation for the all Zambia is also established. The values of correlation coefficients established varied from 53% to 97% and the errors of estimation were between 0.24 and 0.0.84.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
