Clearness index

Is it possible for HOMER to calculate clearness index from solar rad, and vice versa. How does it work?

 

When specifying monthly solar radiation data, you need to specify either clearness index or mean daily radiation, not both. HOMER can calculate one from the other for any latitude. For details, please see the Help article ‘How HOMER Calculates Clearness Index’. You can look up ‘clearness index’ in the Help index.
