Abstract: This chapter presents empirical regression models for estimating the monthly average daily global horizontal irradiance in the capital city of Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates (UAE), based on the measurement data of 9 years. It also addresses selected models available in the literature for the estimation of diffuse horizontal irradiance and their correlation to measured data. The effect of atmospheric turbidity, due to humidity, sandstorms, and aerosols, on the solar irradiance is also addressed.
