Solar radiation maps from satellite data for a tropical environment- case study of Malaysia. WSEAS international conference on Energy & environment. pp. 528-533. ISSN 1790-5095 (2008)
Abstract
Satellite images have been indentified as an alternative and accurate method for predicting average annual daily solar irradiaition of a specific location. These images can be use to predict the performance and sizing of various solar energy systems uch as solar thermal and photovoltaics applications. the in are used and compared with the actual readings from solar instruments. It can also be used to he results are then used to estimate solar intensity for other places where solar instrument is not available. Malaysia lies entirely in the equatorial region. The tropical environment has been characterized by heavy rainfall, constantly high temperature and relative humidity, The annual average daily solar irradiation for Malaysia were from 4.21 kWh/m2 to 5.56 kWh/m2. The highest solar radiation was estimated at 6.8kWh/m2 in August and November while the lowest was 0.61 kWh/m2 in December. The Northern region and a few places in East Malaysia have the highest potential for solar energy application due to its high solar radiation throughout the year.
