Solar radiation data requirement persists throughout a photovoltaic (PV) application, from system sizing to evaluating performance of existing PV systems. This paper compares the solar intensity measured by direct sensors with that calculated using the measured spectral data. Also, the changes in the spectral characteristics of the sun`s radiation during a typical day and from month to month is analyzed.
