Global Atlas
In the past ten years, the initiative has brought together more than 50 highly skilled international research institutions to share over 700 renewable energy maps on this single and consistent platform
Global Solar Atlas
Online map-based application: • Interactive maps allow visualisation of global solar resource data at approx 250 m grid resolution, covering global horizontal irradiation (GHI), direct normal irradiation (DNI), diffuse horizontal irradiation (DIF), and also PV power potential (PVOUT) and air temperature (TEMP) data at approx. 1 km. The data can be visualised for any location or region; numeric values are provided for each map click;
