Abstract
The aim of this research is to investigate the depletion of solar radiation at the earth’s surface due to particulate matters being smaller than 2.5 µm (PM2.5) under clear sky conditions at a solar monitoring site in Nakhon Pathom province, Thailand (13.82º N, 100.04º E). In this research, PM2.5 was obtained from a low-cost air pollution sensor (AEROBOX), solar radiation was measured by a pyranometer, and cloud cover data was retrieved from a sky camara used in order to classify sky conditions. From the analysis results, monthly average hourly PM2.5 at the site varied between 5 - 160 µg/m3 and the maximum of monthly average hourly solar radiation was 850 W/m2 in March. In addition, the increasing of 1 µg/m3 PM2.5 can affect the decreasing of solar radiation up to 0.58%.
