Abstract

A new set of constants based on sixth order polynomials fitting of measured data of sixteen Indian cities has been found to estimate the monthly mean global radiation on a horizontal surface. These constants provide good estimates of monthly mean global radiation on a horizontal surface with a maximum deviation of 8%. A comparison of the present result with the other models shows that the new constants yield more accurate results.
