The purpose of this paper was to provide preliminary data concerning global availability of solar energy at the surface of the Moon. Lack of gaseous atmosphere and accompanying phenomena such as precipitations or cloud cover makes the Moon’s surface an extraordinarily advantageous place for solar energy harvesting. On the other hand, excessive exposure to undamped sunlight may cause problems with buildings’ interior overheating or increase decay rate of photovoltaic cells. Thus, basic information concerning solar irradiance and diurnal insolation at specified selenographic latitudes are indispensable for location selection for future lunar facilities and their design process. In order to approximate Sun’s position at lunar sky, simple analytical astrometric model of lunar rotation was developed. Basing on that model, direct diurnal irradiances and insolations were calculated for various flat surface orientations, and selenographic latitudes. Computed data were presented in charts and tables.This lunar insolation database may serve as guideline for location of future lunar settlements and research stations, and to estimate their diurnal energy demands. |
