Assessment of solar radiation resources in any country is the foundation for deployment of solar energy using new solar technologies and facilitates to achieve the solar energy target. This study summarizes the analysis of solar radiation resource assessment (SRRA) stations network in the India. The entire solar stations network in India use same kind of advanced instruments to gather, send and store the irradiance and metrological data at central station CWET Chennai. The analysis used one year data measurements from January to December 2015 of SRRA, DCRUST, Murthal station of Haryana. The data consist of global horizontal irradiance (GHI), diffuse horizontal irradiance (DHI), direct normal irradiance (DNI) and metrological parameters viz. ambient temperature and relative humidity is investigated. The data analysis of this area receives the good solar irradiance during February to October. The maximum value of GHI is 250.64 W/m2 with corresponding ambient temperature is 30.08 oC in the month of June 2015. Similarly the lowest value of GHI which is 88.96 W/m2 and shows good association with low value of average temperature i.e 14.85 oC as observed in the month of December 2015. Also, in the months of February to June this region receives good amount of DNI and the relative humidity is low during these months. Moreover, when the relative humidity is high the ambient temperature is observed at low side as found in the month of January and October to December. Whenever, the relative humidity decreases the DNI of solar radiation increases. Therefore a good correlation is found between DNI and relative humidity. Moreover, the present study should have significant impact towards design and modeling of solar plants, solar resource forecasting, preliminary solar technology selection, solar project development and boost green energy corridor in the country.
