A methodology for developing a simple theoretical model for calculating global insolation on a horizontal surface is … validated by calculating theoretical global insolation for five locations, one in north (New Delhi), one in south … measured insolation values for these five locations. The measured values of all these locations had been considered for …

corresponding to maximum insolation are obtained for winter, summer and annual collection. The optimum tilt and orientation reported …

stature growth. It is geography and direct sunlight (insolation) that present a striking attribute of 19th century black and … white statures, and greater insolation is documented here to be associated with taller black and white statures. …

statures, 19th century blacks were consistently shorter than whites. Greater insolation (vitamin D production), is documented … here to be associated with taller black statures. Consistent with the insolation-hypothesis, mulattos were taller than … darker pigmented blacks, and most of the mulatto-black stature differential was attributable to age and insolation. Black …

Incident insolation and PV output were maximum for a surface with inclination 30° facing due south … maximising incident insolation varied from 10° to 70°. For the particular location and system studied, the maximum annual PV …
