| The top right graph shows global solar radiation over a 10 hour period. The green line shows what the UCSSPM predicted as a maximum clear-sky value, the yellow bars show the reference measurement of global solar radiation in W per m² over the same period. The bigger graph at the bottom shows how that translates into the context of photovoltaics (conversion of solar radiation into electricity) and since the output is always a derivative value of global solar radiation the graph looks about the same but the output is measured in W. We can see that we are a long way off the 800-1000 W/m² which are often used for baselining. Of course, it cannot predict the weather but it is an enormous help in planning, scaling and operating solar energy conversion systems in order to have a reliable baseline, so that we know what could be obtained as a maximum at a specific location/ | The top right graph shows global solar radiation over a 10 hour period.
