Ground images with a sky camera have become common to evaluate cloud coverage, aerosols, and energy collection. In parallel, the growth of solar energy has led to an impulse to evaluate and forecast the solar potential in a site before investments, which has increased the importance of solar power measurements. Facing that scenario, this work presents a novel sky camera model that allows to measure the global horizontal irradiance (GHI). Initially, images from a fisheye camera were stored and a
