Solar Radiation Data Manual for Flat-Plate and Concentrating Collectors

    Research output: NLRMarketing

    Abstract

    For designers and engineers of solar energy-related systems, the Solar Radiation Data Manual for Flat-Plate and Concentrating Collectors gives the solar resource available for various types of collectors for the United States and its territories. The data in the manual were modeled using hourly values of direct beam and diffuse horizontal solar radiation from the National Solar Radiation DataBase (NSRDB). The NSRDB contains; modeled (93 %) and measured (7 %) global horizontal, diffuse horizontal, and direct beam solar radiation for 1961-1990.
