It illustrates mathematical formulations to determine irradiation at various surface orientations and for different time periods. The chapter further illustrates expressions for radiation on horizontal surfaces for different time periods—an hour, a day, a month, and so forth. It presents plots of the extraterrestrial hourly radiation on horizontal surfaces. Those plots demonstrate the effect of latitude and declination on the diurnal variation in insolation. Near the equator, the effect of declination is minimal. At high altitudes, the effect of declination is greater. The chapter further presents some examples of the diurnal variation of the extraterrestrial radiation on horizontal surfaces. The characteristic declinations for the hourly and daily irradiation remain the same. At the equator, the annual variation of the extraterrestrial radiation is minimal. %@ 9780123737502
