[TRNSYS-users] RADIACTION PROCESSOR

[Diego A. Arias]

Hi Javier,

I would like to add to Dave's answer that usually these mismatchs 
between beam radiation and total radiation occur at sunset or sunrise.  
This is caused by the uncertainty of the instruments under these 
conditions of very little radiation.  The contribution of these values 
is so little to the overall performance of any system that you can 
neglect them.
Best regards,

Diego
