"A scatter plot compares predicted and actual solar radiation values in watts per square meter from a random forest regression model. Data points show a strong positive trend from 0 to 1000 along both axes. A dashed diagonal line represents the ideal fit. Most points cluster near the line at higher values, while lower and midrange values show greater spread and variability."
