Global Tilted Irradiation kWh/m2 Zambia 500m 1994-2013 WBG

Global tilted irradiation (GTI) measures total radiation received on a surface with defined tilt and azimuth, fixed of suntracking. This is the sum of the scattered radiation, direct, and reflected radiation. In the case of PV applications, GTI can be affected by shadow. Data measure the average of annual sums from 1994 Ð 2013 simulation, and was completed by GeoModel Solar.The map is an un-validated, satellite-derived estimate. As part of phase II of the WBG initiative, these maps will be validated through the use of ground measurement data, and until the data collection period is finished should be considered for policy use, rather than energy prospecting, following IRENA's classification of renewable energy data.
