Abstract

Solar radiation significantly influences Earth's climate and ecosystems. Accurate solar radiation data, including intensity and frequency, are vital for solar power utilization and understanding climate patterns. South East Europe, and Romania specifically, holds substantial solar energy potential. The study focuses on analysing a dataset of two-year, high-quality solar radiation components at a station near Bucharest, part of the Baseline Surface Radiation Network. Analysis of 2021- 2022 solar radiation reveals key solar fluctuations, emphasizing significant peaks in July. The data underline the region's unique solar radiation profile, valuable for future renewable energy planning.
