Prediction of Solar Irradiation in Yasooj Using Various Correlations and Models

Available solar radiation potential is the primary condition for any solar energy applications in any region. In this article attempt is made to evaluate solar radiation intensity at Yasooj which located 30? 50? north latitude about south central parts of Iran. Metrological data and climate condition from 1988 to 1997 is used to apply different correlations and daily solar irradiation during the years is determined. It was found that average a clear index is about 0.6 which shows nearly clear sky condition for this location.
