ABSTRACT: Decision making for the excellence of the performance of a given solar technology operating under nominal conditions in given locations is of crucial importance. In the present work, an approach capable of making reliable predictions of the diffuse rate of solar radiation based on the Linke turbidity factor TL; the latter follows the model of Ineichen. However, the conversion process is technically and economically harmful. It is due to the loss of solar radiation caused by its absorption and diffusion in the atmosphere. Meteorological, atmospheric, and radiation data for the period from February 2004 to May 2020 are used. They are authorized for this work by resources derived from satellite data of NASA, for the benefit of the "Rabat" case study and other representative regions of Morocco for a.....
