Abstract :
This paper analyzes global radiation, diffused radiation, and other meteorological data needed to give a comprehensive study on the solar radiation in The Hashemite University in Jordan (32.05_N, 36.06_E). Measured and simulated daily, monthly, and annually global radiation averages are presented and analyzed. The measured data is collected by the Dhleel Metrological Center while the simulated data is generated by the METEONORM software (a comprehensive meteorological software). The inclination angle θ is also optimized in this work for every month of the year and for the whole year in order to maximize solar energy production.
