N2 - In this paper, a new solar radiation (insolation) prediction method is proposed that uses the Volterra filter which is trained based on the least squares (LS) criterion. Only historical insolation data are used as input information to train the Volterra filter that consists of the first- and second-order kernels. The proposed method is applied to real datasets of hourly insolation data of four years (2012-2015), which were downloaded from the website of Japan Meteorological Agency. Extensive simulations demonstrate the forecasting superiority of the proposed method over the naive persistence model (NPM), the autoregressive (AR) model, and the feedforward neural network (FFNN) schemes. Furthermore, the proposed method requires much lower training cost as compared to the FFNNs.
