Abstract

In this paper, novel software has been developed to analyze the solar energy and its use for the generation of electricity. Rajasthan has abundant solar energy for power generation. The software designed is used for the estimation of solar radiation at remote areas, and through that data, the total power that can be obtained can be approximated. It is a very simple application of C++ programming which will be directly used in computing the solar energy production. For computing this calculation, from various districts of Rajasthan state, the data was collected for 20 areas which have large solar radiation. Estimation of solar radiation and computation of the total radiation was evaluated using latitude and longitude. The software program is developed by using input variables like regression constant, declination angle, monthly average global radiation, and latitude angle, and the value of total probable energy through solar radiation can be automatically generated.
