/ Radiation atlas for Cundiboyacense region – Colombia by radiometric data

Abstract

The measurement of the solar resource has been important for applications in engineering, architecture, and hydrology, among others. For this reason it is necessary to know the behavior of daily global solar radiation over long periods of time. The spatial distribution of solar radiation usually is presented via solar radiation maps that recorded the average daily solar radiation for each month of the year. In Colombia, the last maps recompilation was published in 2004. Currently it has greater coverage of radiometers making measurements, for this reason exists more updated and more reliable records. Solar radiation maps for Cundiboyacense area had built based on the data of global radiation of the local network of the Regional Autonomous Corporation of Cundinamarca are presented in this paper
