==As a part of total radiation== One of the equations for total solar radiation is:<ref>{{cite book|last1=Mukherjee|first1=D.|last2=Chakrabarti|first2=S.|title=Fundamentals of Renewable Energy Systems|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=fdxdezgeXAcC&pg=PA22|year=2004|publisher=New Age International|isbn=978-81-224-1540-7|page=22}}</ref> : <math>H_t= H_b R_b + H_d R_d + (H_b+H_d) R_r </math> where ''H<sub>b</sub>'' is the beam radiation irradiance, ''R<sub>b</sub>'' is the tilt factor for beam radiation, ''H<sub>d</sub>'' is the diffuse radiation irradiance, ''R<sub>d</sub>'' is the tilt factor for diffuse radiation and ''R<sub>r</sub>'' is the tilt factor for reflected radiation. ''R<sub>b</sub>'' is given by: : <math>R_b=\frac{\sin(\delta) \sin(\phi-\beta)+ \cos(\delta)\cos(h) \cos(\phi-\beta)}{\sin(\delta) \sin(\phi)+ \cos(\delta)\cos(h) \cos(\phi)}</math> where ''Ξ΄'' is the [[solar declination]], ''Ξ¦'' is the latitude, ''Ξ²'' is an angle from the horizontal and ''h'' is the solar [[hour angle]]. ''R<sub>d</sub>'' is given by: : <math>R_d=\frac{1+\cos(\beta)}{2}</math> and ''R<sub>r</sub>'' by: : <math>R_r=\frac{\rho(1-\cos(\beta))}{2}</math> where ''Ο'' is the [[reflectivity]] of the surface.
