Uruguay Daily Average GHI February

The second version of Uruguay's Solar Map provides annual and monthly averages of daily global irradiation at an horizontal surface. A statistical satellite based model is used to obtain hourly solar irradiation from GOES-East's visible channel imagery. This hourly information is used to compute the monthly and annual averages using a 14 years' local database of satellite images. The coeficients of the statistical model are tunned using the data from the National Solar Measurements' Network administrated by the National Public University's Solar Energy Laboratory (LES/UdelaR, Uruguay). The network is equipped with first class field pyranometers according to ISO 9060:1990 (Kipp & Zonen CMP6 or higher quality). Pyranometers are regularly calibrated against a secondary standard Kipp & Zonen CMP22 that the Solar Energy Laboratory keeps calibrated against the primary standard in the World Radiation Center in Davos, Switzerland.
