Abstract

Based on observational data of total solar irradiance from the Hotan National Reference Climate Station (1961-2023), this study quantitatively analyzes the temporal variation characteristics and meteorological impacts of solar radiation in Hotan city. The results show that Hotan is endowed with exceptionally abundant and stable solar energy resources, with annual total solar radiation showing a significant increasing trend of 7.03 MJ/m² per decade. Seasonal radiation intensity follows a descending order: spring> autumn>summer>winter. Monthly variation exhibits a unimodal pattern peaking in June (2132 MJ/m²) and reaching minimum values in December (433 MJ/m²). Diurnal variation demonstrates characteristics of midday maxima, with peak radiation predominantly occurring at 13:00 local time. Different weather conditions cause varying degrees of attenuation of total solar radiation. Among them, rainy days, cloudy days and overcast days have the most obvious impact on the attenuation of total solar radiation in Hotan (36.8%-72.4% attenuation). The continuous radiation stability (annual variation coefficient<6.5%) coupled with high intensity (cumulative annual radiation exceeding 6000 MJ/m²) makes Hotan the preferred candidate for large-scale and sustained solar energy development. These findings provide critical baseline data and theoretical support for optimizing photovoltaic system deployment in arid climate zones.
