description Contemporary environmental challenges are increasingly significant. The primary cause is the drastic changes in climates. The prediction of solar radiation is a crucial aspect of solar energy applications and meteorological forecasting. The amount of solar radiation reaching Earth’s surface (Global Horizontal Irradiance, GHI) varies with atmospheric conditions, geographical location, and temporal factors. This paper presents a novel methodology for estimating surface sun exposure using advanced deep learning techniques. The proposed method is tested and validated using the data obtained from NASA’s Goddard Earth Sciences Data and Information Services Centre (GES DISC) named the SORCE (Solar Radiation and Climate Experiment) dataset. For analyzing and predicting accurate data, features are extracted using a deep learning method, Deep-FS. The method extracted and provided the selected features that are most appropriate for predicting the surface exposure. Time series analysis was conducted using Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs), with results demonstrating superior performance compared to traditional methodologies across standard performance metrics. The proposed Deep-FS model is validated and compared with the traditional approaches and models through the standard performance metrics. The experimental results concluded that the proposed model outperforms the traditional models.
