Solar radiation power is the fuel for all solar energy production purposes. All sets of activities such as chemical, physical and biological revolving near the ground or in the atmosphere layer. The solar radiation data at ground level and in the atmosphere are an important characteristic in solar energy applications such as photovoltaic (PV) systems. Various meteorological databases are accessible with data acquired from ground measurements, satellite data, or unification of both. In this paper, the comparison between satellite data derived from ground station installed at Al-Diwaniyah location and PVGIS website so as to design the PV system for maximum competence under different climatic conditions.The monthly data for one year (2015) was analyzed and assessed at zero and tilt planes. The results showed that the difference and bias between acquired satellite and ground station data. The annual rate value of solar radiation for selected location is 1423.5 (Kwh/m2/year) for ground data and 1825 (Kwh/m2/year) for PVGIS data, so, this rate is suitable for PV solar system applications.
