In the overseas market, power generation and energy service companies have been engaged in the business of providing personalized trading services for the production of electric power through the Internet platform. This is, so that the electric power sharing system between individuals is being developed through the Internet platform. The prediction of insolation is essential for the prediction of power generation for photovoltaic systems. In this study, we present a prediction model for insolation from data observed at the Meteorological Administration. We also present basic data for the development of the insolation prediction model through meteorological parameters provided in future weather forecasts. The prediction model presented is for five years of observation of weather data in the Seoul area. The proposed model was trained by using the feed-forward neural networks, taking into account the daily climatic elements. To validate the reliability of the model, the root mean square error (RMSE), mean bias error (MBE), and mean absolute error (MAE) were used for estimation. The results of this study can be used to predict the solar power generation system and to provide basic information for trading generated output by photovoltaic systems.
