Several simplified design procedures for solar energy systems require monthly average meteorological data. Monthly average daily totals of the solar radiation incident on a horizontal surface are available. However, radiation data on tilted surfaces, required by the design procedures, are generally not available. A simple method of estimating the average daily radiation for each calendar month on surfaces facing directly towards the equator was presented. The method is verified with experimental measurements and extended to allow calculation of monthly average radiation on surfaces of a wide range of orientations. The results are presented in analytic and tabular form for latitudes ranging from 25 deg to 55 deg, surface azimuth angles of + or - 45 deg, and for collector slopes within the range of practical interest.
