Monthly Average Solar Resource for horizontal and tilted flat-plates, and 2-axis tracking concentrating collectors. These data provide monthly average and annual average daily total solar resource averaged over surface cells of approximately 40 km by 40 km in size. Countries included in dataset include: Africa, Bangladesh, Brazil, Caribbean, Central America, China, East Asia, Ethiopia, Ghana, Kenya, Mexico, Nepal, South America, Sri Lanka, and the United States. Units: kWh/m^2/day Source: U.S. National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL)

SRID 900913 of two available coordinate systems. Latitude tilted solar radiation in kWh/m2/day for 1 year organized into cells with 10km x 10km. (Purpose): The BRASIL-SR model and the SPRING software (both developed by INPE -National Institute for Space Research) were used to produce the dataset and SHAPE files (Supplemental Information): The assessment of reliability levels of the BRASIL-SR model were performed through the evaluation of the deviations shown by the estimated values for solar radiation flux vis-à-vis the values measured at the surface (ground truth). This evaluation was done in two phases. The first phase consisted in an inter-comparison between the core radiation transfer models adopted by the SWERA Project to map the solar energy in the various countries participating in the project. The HELIOSAT model took part in this phase like benchmark due to its employment to map solar energy resources incountries from European Union. In the second phase, the solar flux estimates providedby the BRASIL-SR model were compared with measured values acquired at several solarimetric stations spread along the Brazilian territory

Location of the solar measurement stations in Mongolia with measurements of the Direct, Diffuse and Global radiation components. The full record covers the period from 2004 to 2012. The data record available through the Global Atlas is an extract which covers the year of 2012. The data was supplied by the Ministry of Energy of Mongolia.

This network includes ground-based measurements for approximately 50 stations in the Renewable Resource Monitoring and Mapping (RRMM) Solar Radiation Monitoring Network. The current stations provide one-minute resolution data for three solar components, along with temperature, humidity, wind speed and direction, and barometric pressure. The network began with three stations in January 2013, and additional stations were added in May and June of that year. Additional stations of the same design are being added, and a group of higher tier research quality stations will be added in the second half of 2013 and in early 2014. Solar data is collected at various temporal resolutions: 1-minute, hourly, daily, monthly, and annual averages of 3-second samples for all solar and meteorological components are collected at each station. IRENA has access to monthly data only. Other resolutions are available for purchase directly from K.A.CARE.
