The design of photovoltaic or solar systems and estimating their performance require knowledge of the intensity of solar radiation. The measurement of this parameter for some sites in Algeria is unfortunately not obvious. However, researchers are moving towards the modeling, estimation and prediction. To model the global solar radiation in Algeria, we must take into account the geographical and climatic parameters such as sunshine duration, relative humidity, temperature, latitude site, etc... In this study, the modeling of daily global solar radiation on a horizontal plane according to the parameters mentioned above is based on the statistical linear regression technique. The daily data used in the development and validation of models are extracted from the database of O. N. M (National Office of Meteorology, Dar el Beida. Algeria) for 2001-2005. We test the proposed models on two sites such as Djelfa and Ain-Bessam. For each site, validity and performance of the model will be studied based on the number of parameters introduced in the analytical expressions and results are discussed in terms of statistical errors as: R, MBE and RMSE between the measured global solar radiation and global solar radiation estimated. It was found that air temperature and relative humidity are indeed important climatic parameters for the prediction of solar radiation.
