Abstract

This analysis is conducted to determine the ability of Hargreaves method that uses temperature difference and the latitude of the location to estimate the solar radiation. Location of the data is measured is at the weather station at Kompleks Makmal Fakulti Kejuruteraan Mekanikal, Universiti Teknikal Malaysia Melaka, Ayer Keroh (2.2667N,102.2833E). The measured and estimated data solar radiation were analyzed and evaluated by using graphical and statistical method. The analysis shows that there is 61.56% difference between the estimated and measured data and the estimated data is over-estimated. After consideration of other factor that can affect the estimated solar radiation data, the Hargreaves method is considerably suitable for estimating solar radiation of a location
