<div class="moz-cite-prefix">What solar parameters are you
comparing? EPW contains extraterrestrial total horizontal,
extraterrestrial direct normal, total horizontal, direct normal,
and diffuse horizontal. BIN contains total horizontal, and direct
normal only. The extraterrestrial values are not used in building
simulations, and diffuse horizontal can be calculated as (total
horizontal - direct normal * sin (solar angle) ). Therefore, as
far as simulation programs go, all use the same basic data.
There should be no difference except for round-off errors between
the total global horizontal and direct normal between EPW and
BINM.<br>
