Direct and indirect uncertainties in the prediction of tilted irradiance for solar engineering applications (2009, methodology): “This is also apparent in previous results ( Gueymard and Myers, 2009 ), where the performance structure of various transposition models was found to be dependent on the frequency distribution of the Ed/E ratio, which is a strong function of cloudiness.”
Global horizontal irradiance clear sky models : implementation and analysis. (2012, background): “58 It is important to remember that the irradiance sensors also have a certain amount of error, generally in the range of 2% to 5% [100, 101] for well maintained and calibrated instruments, but sometimes greater.”
Identification of periods of clear sky irradiance in time series of GHI measurements (2016, unknown): “For most GHI sensors, both thermopiles and silicon-based sensors, the sensor error is about 5% and at best it is 2% (Gueymard and Myers, 2009; Reda, 1998).”
