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.
