TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluated the transferability of support vector machines (SVM) for estimation of solar radiation in subtropical zone in China, and showed that solar radiation at one site (estimation site) could be well estimated by SVM model developed at another site (source site), the accuracy of estimation is affected by the distance and temperature difference between two sites, and altitude of source site.
