Comparative Study of Experimentally Measured and Calculated Solar Radiations for Two Sites in Algeria

This paper presents a comparison study between the measured solar radiations on site and the calculated solar radiation based on the most theoretical models presented in the literature up to date. Indeed, for such purposes, this paper focusses on the analysis of the data of the measured solar radiat...
