These images can be use to predict the performance and sizing of various solar energy systems such as solar thermal and photovoltaic applications. The data from satellite images are used and compared with the actual readings from solar instruments. The results are then used to estimate solar intensity for other places where solar instrument is not available. Malaysia lies entirely in the equatorial region. The tropical environment has been characterized by heavy rainfall, constantly high temperature and relative humidity. The annual average daily solar irradiations for Malaysia were from 4.21 kWh/m2 to 5.56 kWh/m2. The highest solar radiation was estimated at 6.8 kWh/m2 in August and November while the lowest was 0.61 kWh/m2 in December. The Northern region and a few places in East Malaysia have the highest potential for solar energy application due to its high solar radiation throughout the year. 2016-04-04T07:35:06Z 2016-04-04T07:35:06Z 2008-04 Article WSEAS Transactions on Environment and Development, vol. 4 (4), 2008, pages 373-378 2224-3496 (Online) 1790-5079 (Print) http://dspace.unimap.edu.my:80/xmlui/handle/123456789/41253 en World Scientific and Engineering Academy and Society |
