90 Like

Developed by SOLARGIS and provided by the Global Solar Atlas (GSA), this data resource contains solar resource data for: direct normal irradiation (DNI), global horizontal irradiation (GHI), diffuse horizontal irradiation data (DIF), and global irradiation for optimally tilted surfaces (GTI), all in kWh/m² covering the globe. Data is provided in a geographic spatial reference (EPSG:4326). The resolution (pixel size) of solar resource data (GHI, DIF, GTI, DNI) is 9 arcsec (nominally 250 m). Due to the large amount of data, the coverage has been divided into eight segments. Four segments for the North hemisphere: WWN (West-west-north), WN (West-north), EN (East-north), EEN (East-east-north). Analogically four segments for the South hemisphere: WWS, WS, ES, EES. The data is hyperlinked under 'resources' with the following characteristics: DNI LTAy_AvgDailyTotals (GeoTIFF) Data format: raster (gridded), GEOTIFF File size : 343.99 MB For individual country or regional data downloads please see: https://globalsolaratlas.info/download (use the drop-down menu to select country or region of interest) For data provided in AAIGrid please see: https://globalsolaratlas.info/download/world. For more information and terms of use, please, read metadata, provided in PDF and XML format for each data layer in a download file. For other data formats, resolution or time aggregation, please, visit Solargis website. Data can be used for visualization, further processing, and geo-analysis in all mainstream GIS software with raster data processing capabilities (such as open source QGIS, commercial ESRI ArcGIS products and others).
