An anisotropic hourly diffuse radiation model for sloping surfaces: Description, performance validation, site dependency evaluation
TL;DR: In this article, a model is described to estimate hourly or higher frequency diffuse sky radiation impinging on plane surfaces of any orientation, once knowing this value on the horizontal, using a simple geometrical sky hemisphere description, allowing for the observed effects of forward-scattered and backscattered radiation.
