Prediction of Solar Radiation in Areas with a Specific Microclimate

One of the main objectives of the European Community Programme on Solar Energy is to provide solar energy practitioners — architects and engineers who design and implement both active and passive solar energy systems, including biomass and daylighting systems — with well documented meteorological and climatological data so that they can estimate the solar radiation falling on a receiving surface for any location and at any time throughout the year.
As a complement to its other landmark con...
