How to model PV system using the weather data from NASA POWER project?

02 January 2019 1 2K Report

I am trying to evaluate solar (PV) potential for various areas in the world with use of daily data. The NASA POWER tool (https://power.larc.nasa.gov/data-access-viewer/) which I consider using, has daily data of All Sky Insolation Incident on a Horizontal Surface . This data has limited usability for tilted panels (as I understand) as it is composed of direct radiation (which depends strongly on the tilt angle) and diffuse radiation.

How can this kind modelling achieved with daily data?

Abdulfatah Abdu Yusuf , thank you for the document. I am looking for more practical instructions, esspecially on calculating the energy on a tilted surface.
