Summary

This revised and updated edition of the atlas contains tables and maps displaying monthly means of global, diffuse and beam solar radiation, as well as sun-hours for a large number of representative sites in Europe. The maps are based on ten-year averages for the period 1966-1975. Tables show radiation on both horizontal and inclined surfaces. The revisions reflect the political developments in the European Union and within neighbouring countries. The enlarged text section provides an introduction to the systematics of solar radiation measurement and calculation. States that the solar data presented is a useful source of information for the estimation of the energy harvest potential for solar systems. The tabular data is provided on two disks to facilitate computer assisted design work.
