The values of (RMSE), for the south-facing surface ranges from 9.3 to 39.7 at Dammam and Hail sites, Saudi Arabia in the present research for Koronakis and Klucher models respectively. For west-facing surface the values of RMSE range from 11.2 to 47.3 for Badescu and Koronakis models at El-Kharga and Hurghada sites, Egypt respectively, while values of RMSE range from 6.5 to 38.5 for Klucher and Reindl et al. models at Dammam and Hail sites, Saudi Arabia. The models Koronakis, Klucher and Stevenand Unsworth (SU) models are given the most accurate estimate for the south-facing surface, and Badescu, Koronakis, Klucher and Reindl et al. models are good performs better estimated for the west-facing surface.展开更多
