Evaluation <strong>of</strong> Group 1: There is only one equation in this group. The results for MBE = -595.294 W/h, RMSE = 685.838 W/h, t-stat=5.797 <strong>and</strong> e=-12.727 were obtained from Eq. 4.1. Evaluation <strong>of</strong> Group 2: There are two equations in this section. They were Eqs. 4.7 <strong>and</strong> 4.10. The best results for MBE = -10.324 W/h, t-stat=0.100 <strong>and</strong> e=-0.2207 were obtained from Eq. 4.10 <strong>and</strong> best results for RMSE = 325.248 W/h from Eq. 4.7. Evaluation <strong>of</strong> Group 3: Six <strong>models</strong> were compared in this part. The best results for MBE = -0.968 W/h, RMSE = 337.305 W/h, t-stat=0.010 <strong>and</strong> e=-0.0207 were obtained from the new developed model Eq. 4.11. Evaluation <strong>of</strong> Group 4: There were also two <strong>models</strong> in this group. The best results for MBE = 1.112 W/h, t-stat=0.007 <strong>and</strong> e=0.02377 were obtained from the new developed Eq. 4.12 <strong>and</strong> the best result RMSE = 440.037 W/h was obtained from Eq. 4.8. Among the <strong>solar</strong> <strong>radiation</strong> <strong>models</strong>, for all test methods, the author’s model given by Eq. (4.14) was found to be the most accurate model, followed by Eq. (4.13) <strong>and</strong> Eq. (4.12) respectively. By looking at the relative percentage errors, it has seen that the new developed <strong>models</strong> gave the closest values rather than the other <strong>models</strong>. They were followed by Eq. (4.9) <strong>and</strong> Eq. (4.7). Table 12.
