Assessment of uncertainty in the numerical simulation of solar
Solar radiation is routinely measured or computed on horizontal surfaces (Sengupta et al., submitted for publication, Sengupta et al., 2014, Xie et al., 2016) while most photovoltaic (PV) applications require irradiance on inclined surfaces.Therefore, transposition models are used to convert global horizontal irradiance (GHI) and direct normal irradiance
