Solar Energy Modelling over a Residential Community in the City of Calgary, Alberta, Canada by Quazi K. Hassan, K. Mahmud Rahman, Anis S. Haque, Ahad Ali

“…We calculated the actual daily incident solar radiation as a function of latitude, day of year, and possible day light hours; and also employed high-resolution remote sensing images to calculate the effective roof area for installing photovoltaic cells. Strong relationships (r2:0.91–0.98) were observed between the ground-based measurements and the modelled actual incident solar radiation at three test locations in Alberta. …”
