Introducción a la Solarimetría

Abstract

This work, corresponding to a first part, presents a description of general concepts and definitions for the understanding of solar radiation, its main parameters of interest and its measurement. The issues discussed in this paper are the following: Solar radiation and the constant solar geometrical factors affecting the flow of radiation energy, physical factors affecting flows radiation energy; quantification of the solar radiation energy, among others. In the State of Zacatecas, there is little information on solar radiation that has been obtained by field measurements. However, currently a project on the monitoring of solar radiation in Zacatecas is in progress.
