This dataset contains the annual average Solar Radiation (DNI) from 9 stations in Israel. A 20-year database of meteorological measurements from the Negev sites: Arad, Beersheba, Besor Farm, Eilat, Hatzeva, Mitzpe Ramon, Sede Boqer, Sedom and Yotvata was employed to synthesize a set of updated Typical Meteorological Year data files (TMY v.5) based on the direct beam component, and the archived hourly data.

Data provides a 10 km Global horizontal solar irradiance map developed from 3Tier, with an annual temporal resolution, for the ECOWAS Region. The data was funded by USAID through its implementing partner Nexant in collaboration with ECREEE.
