Hourly solar radiation over Bahrain

An empirical formula for estimating hourly solar radiation has been developed. The average hourly total solar radiation has been computed as a function of local time. The results compare well with experimental data measured at latitude O = 26 °N. There is also good agreement between our model and that of other authors.
