Estimation of potential solar energy in MTI region (Malaysia, Thailand and Indonesia) based on linear, nonlinear and artificial neural network models

Solar radiation (SR) data offer information on the amount of the sun potential at a location on the earth during a specific time. These data are very important for designing sizing solar photovoltaic (PV) systems. Due to the high cost of installation and fitting troubles, these barriers cause lack...
