Photovoltaic electricity output kWh/m2 Maldives 0.5km 1999-2013 WBG

Photovoltaic potential is essential to developing an economic understanding of a PV system. The PV potential is defined as the electric energy produced per peak power installed. In this simulation, the power plant is a small, ground-mounted power plant with PV modules tilted 7 degrees toward the euqator. The data were created by GeoModel SolarThe 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.
