A city has an annual average sunshine duration of 3000 hours. Using the Angstrom-Prescott model, estimate the expected GHI assuming a linear correlation of 0.8 with sunshine duration.
💡 Hint: Multiply the correlation coefficient with the total sunshine hours.
Two solar panels are mounted at different tilt angles, 30 degrees and 45 degrees. Calculate the GTI considering they receive 500 Wh/m² of diffuse irradiance and 200 Wh/m² of direct irradiance, where the albedo effect is negligible.
💡 Hint: Use the direct and diffuse values directly for this calculation.
