Abstract
Estimation of horizontal global solar radiation for any desidered location is a problem which should be solved on the basis of a process of integrating information involving different types of data: satellite and ground-based measurements. We experimented a new approach for which we used tools and methods pertaining to geostatistics. Geostatistics can be defined as a set of statistical tools applicable to the study of phenomena spread in space/time and finalized to translate the user`s knowledge into formulae. The basic idea is to consider the spatial continuity of the data, to model it and to use it in forecasting events. The implications are that geostatistics provides tools for the interpretation and modelling of spatial phenomena and that it allows the user to make decisions consistent with the data because it does not replace expert decisions. The underlaying idea of our approach to the estimation of global solar radiation on a horizontal surface, is that of using the geostatistical method as a data fusion technique, thereby showing the effectiveness of the approach.
