SOLAR IRRADIANCE FOR FEBRUARY 25, 2024
SOLAR IRRADIANCE = Normal Solar Irradiance x cos z
where:
Normal Solar Irradiance = 1000 w/m^2
z = zenith angle
cos z = (sinδ) (sinф) + cosδ cosф [(L.T. - 12) x 15]
where:
δ = Sun Declaration - the latitude at the direct overhead.
ф = Latitude
L.T. = Local Solar Time in Hour
For Sun Declaration
δ = 23.45° sin [ 360/365 (d + 284]; where: d = number of days
δ = 23.45° sin [ 360/365 (25 + 284]

Solving for Zenith
cosz = sin (19.26) sin(13.4060) + cos(19.26) cos(13.4060) cos[ (15.17-12) (15) ]
