Explore how direct solar radiation varies with slope and latitude, using real data and visual isograms.

This nonfiction work presents a comprehensive study of how surface orientation affects daily and hourly solar radiation across latitudes from 0 to 60 degrees north. Rich in diagrams and tables, it offers detailed calculations and graphical isograms that help readers understand solar exposure on different slopes and exposures.

Readers will gain a practical framework for assessing solar radiation on varied terrains. The book emphasizes patterns over the year, with figures illustrating hourly and daily radiation values for level surfaces and slopes ranging from level to 90 degrees. It’s a resourceful reference for researchers, students, engineers, and professionals working in solar energy, geography, or environmental science.

Concrete data and visuals showing how slope direction and steepness impact solar input
Guidance on interpreting hourly and daily radiation patterns across multiple latitudes
A structured layout of figures and tables to support practical analysis
Approach suitable for academic study, field planning, or energy project assessment

Ideal for readers who need a rigorous, data-driven look at how terrain influences solar exposure.
