Tilted And Horizontal Solar Radiation For 6 Zones In Bangladesh

Abstract This study proposes a procedure that was adopted for the development of a linear regression model for estimating solar radiation on horizontal and tilted surfaces for 6 divisions in Bangladesh. The correlations the simulated global solar radiation on tilted surface and the simulated diffuse solar radiation on a horizontal surface for each location are discussed elaborately. The solar radiation values obtained were compared with the measured values. The results of the global solar radiation show that the areas of greatest solar potential are Rajshahi Dhaka Sylhet Chittagong Khulna Barishal and the months of the year with the highest tilted solar radiation are November December January and February.
