Accurate estimation of the global solar radiation on a horizontal surface at a place is essential to design and check the performance of solar energy devices. This study focused on evaluating monthly average daily global solar radiation (DGSR) and monthly average global solar radiation (GSR), as well as comparing the six models used in the estimations, over Lalibela and Sirinka in Northern Ethiopia. The best models were selected according to the values of statistical performance evaluation. For Lalibela the best model to estimate DGSR was LO-model with values of MBE=-0.092 KWh/m2day, RMSE= 0.402 KWh/m2day, MPE=-1,969 % and for Sirinka- GM model with values of MBE=-0.575 KWh/m2day, RMSE= 0.643 KWh/m2day, MPE=-9.764 %. The best estimator of monthly average GSR over Lalibela was AP model w... view moreĀ»
