Using the Neural Networks to predict solar harvestable energy would contribute to prolonging the duration of the effective operation and thus less consumption in solar-harvesting sensor nodes. The NNs with higher prediction accuracy have the longest effective operation. Till now, the NNs that use the zenith angle function as input have been utilized with only two terms. This paper shows the advantages of using a multi-term zenith angle function on the energy management in the nodes. To this end, this paper considers two, three, and four terms for the function of the zenith angle. The results showed that the case of four terms has the lowest prediction mistakes on average (0.83%) compared to (2.13% and 1.75%) for the cases of two and three terms, respectively. This is followed by a reduction in energy consumption in favor of four terms case. For one month simulation period with hourly prediction, the sensor node worked at the higher consumption mode (M2) in the case of four terms 4 hours less than three terms and 7 hours less than two terms case. Thus, increasing the number of terms in the zenith angle function leads to higher accuracy and less energy consumption.
