This book presents the methods of quantitative determination of solar irradiation incident amount on a surface on the Earth. It brings together information not found elsewhere in a single source, and includes an innovative exposition of expert system methodologies used in the domain of solar irradiation and energy. The book provides a background to the underlying physical principles of solar irradiation and energy, with explanations as to how these can be modelled and applied.
From the reviews:
"Solar Energy Fundamentals and Modeling Techniques offers an intriguing look at the global energy picture from an outpost in Turkey. ... Many charts, graphs, and references follow each chapter ... . A valuable addition to the literature. Summing Up: Recommended. Professional, two-year technical program, and academic collections, upper-division undergraduates and above." (J. C. Comer, Choice, Vol. 46 (5), January, 2009)
