Modelling of Solar Radiation using Python

Creators

Description

This short communication describes how a Python module has been developed to understand solar radiation. Through the use of the python module, functions have been developed for zenith angle, hour angle, angle, solar declination angle and solar intensity of extraterrestrial radiation. To ensure that the developed modules were accurate, four problems were selected. The developed codes were tested on these four problems. Correspondingly, the result has shown that the functions generated have helped in a better interpretation and understanding of solar geometry and sun-earth angles
