Abstract

In many developing countries, main parameters are measured at meteorological stations, but in some stations solar radiation measurements may not be available. Solar radiation measurements may not be performed due to equipment installation, maintenance, repair costs and calibration requirements. The best way to achieve a physical value is to measure. Estimation models are used to obtain solar radiation values where measurements are not exist. These models allow estimating global solar radiation with the aid of other measured meteorological parameters. In this study, a literature review is given, the global solar radiation estimation models and their applications are mentioned.
