The aim of this study is to obtain a nonlinear equation for computation of the monthly solar radiation for any latitude of any place in Egypt, when the recording solar instruments are not available. This equation allows to estimate the monthly values of the Global Solar Radiation for any latitude in Egypt with deviation from the published data (in the world net work), for any month, of about 17%.
