Estimation of solar hourly radiation potential in Ambon island (Indonesia)

Abstract

The article presents the analysis results of incoming solar radiation on a horizontal surface in Ambon Island. Result from the model of Collares-Pereira and Rabl provides statistical model of incoming hourly average solar insolation, which allows an accurate forecast of solar radiation potential in the territory. Regression analysis was held based on the data of actual measurements for the period 2008-2013 and the calculated data by using formulas of root mean square error (RMSE), mean bias errors (MBE) and mean percentage error (MPE) to estimate the quality of the model.
