Scientific paper
This paper summarizes those solar radiation characteristics which are related to solar energy utilization. A short description of the radiation which reaches the upper atmosphere is given. The geometrical consequences of earth rotation, related to spin axis tilt with respect to the eclipse plane, and ground based collector inclination are examined. After a review of atmospheric optical properties - absorption, scattering - the characteristics of the daylight radiation which is received at the ground are examined. Statistical information needed for the sizing of solar-power installations is described. The paper concludes with the analysis of various problems related to the simulation of solar radiation and the measurement of energy conversion efficiency.
