Variation in Extraterrestrial Solar Radiation
From “Solar Engineering of Thermal Processes”, Duffie & Beckman
• Due to variation in the radiation emitted by the sun (less than 1% variation)
• Due to variation of the earth-sun distance (up to 3% variation)
For engineering purposes, in view of uncertainties and variability of atmospheric transmission, the energy emitted by the sun can be considered to be fixed.

Solar Energy Availability
The sun’s path at different times of the year at central European latitude (London, Berlin)
The amount of solar energy available on the earth depends on thegeographical latitude and the time of day and year at a given location.
Because of the inclination of the earth’s axis, the sun reaches high solar altitudes in the summer than in the winter.

Solar TimeSolar time ≠ Local Clock Time
Solar time is used in all of the sun-angle relationships. It is based on the apparent angular motion of the sun across the sky with solar noon the time that the sun crosses the meridian of the observer.
Apply 2 corrections:
-difference in longitude between observer’s meridian and the meridian on which local standard time is based on (4 mins to transverse 1o)- equation of time – account for perturbations in the earth’s rotation which affect the time the sun crosses the observer’s meridian
Solar TimeSolar time is calculated from:
Solar Time – LST = 4(LSM - LON) + ET
where:• LST is the local standard time• LSM is the local standard meridian• LON is the local longitude• ET is the equation of time given by:
ET= 229.2*(0.000075 + 0.001868 cos(B) – 0.032077 sin(B)- 0.014615 cos(2B) – 0.04089 sin(2B))
Where B = (n-1)*(360/365), n = day of the year
All equations use degrees not radians!

Solar Time ExampleAt Madison, WI, what is the solar time corresponding to 10:30 AMcentral time on February 3?
Solar Time – LST = 4(LSM - LON) + ETIn this case:• LST is the local standard time (10:30)• LSM is the local standard meridian (90o W) *• LON is the local longitude (89.4o W) *• ET is the equation of time given by:
ET= 229.2*(0.000075 + 0.001868 cos(B) – 0.032077 sin(B)- 0.014615 cos(2B) – 0.04089 sin(2B))
Where B = (n-1)*(360/365), n = 34 therefore B = 32.55
Thus ET = -13.5 minutes
Solar Time – 10:30 = 4(90 – 89.4) + (-13.5) = -11 minutesSolar Time = 10:19

Solar Radiation Definitions
Global solar irradiance and its components
The radiation from the sun that meets the earth without any change in direction is called direct or beam radiation, Gdir.
The radiation from the sun after its direction has been changed by scattering in the atmosphere is called diffuse radiation, Gdif.
The radiation from the sun after it is reflected on the ground is called the ground reflected radiation, Gref.
The sum of the beam, diffuse and reflected solar radiation on a surface is called the global solar irradiance, GG.
GG= Gdir + Gdif + Gref

The air mass factor (AM) is a measure of the length of the path of the sunlight through the earth’s atmosphere in terms of one atmosphere thickness.
