A new solar radiation data manual for flat‐plate and concentrating collectors
@inproceedings{Marion1994ANS, title={A new solar radiation data manual for flat‐plate and concentrating collectors}, author={W. F. Marion and Stephen Wilcox}, year={1994} }
A new solar radiation data manual is nearing completion by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory’s (NREL’s) Analytic Studies Division under the Solar Radiation Resource Assessment Project and the Photovoltaic Solar Radiation Research Task. These tasks are funded and monitored by the Photovoltaics Branch of the Department of Energy’s Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy. The new manual is entitled Solar Radiation Data Manual for Flat‐Plate and Concentrating Collectors. For…
