Abstract

This paper describes a mathematical model that is being used in the Asian Institute of Technology (AIT) to simulate solar radiation in Thailand for theoretical studies of the performance of solar energy equipment. It is expected to be valid anywhere in South and Southeast Asia with a monsoon climate similar to that of Thailand.
