Abstract

The recently published Olmo model estimates global irradiance on inclined planes. It only requires the horizontal global irradiance and the sun’s azimuth and elevation as input parameters. As a consequence, it does not contain empirical coefficients that need determination for each location. Olmo and co-authors found a good agreement between predicted and experimental values obtained at their measuring site when a factor accounting for ground-reflected radiation was introduced in the model. In the present paper, the Olmo model is assessed in Madrid for vertical planes facing north, south, east and west. The model gives a root mean square error of ≅27%, when all data are used. With the data for the north-facing plane it becomes worse, i.e. ≅52%.
