The success of any solar energy installation depends largely on the availability of solar radiation at that location making detailed knowledge of solar resource data critical for planning. The maps below illustrate select multiyear annual and monthly average maps and geospatial data from the National Solar Radiation Database NSRDB Physical Solar Model PSM. Learn about the NSRDB PSM.
It is part of a broader Renewable Energy Resource Mapping initiative covering 12 countries.
First you have to connect to the NASA Surface meteorology and Solar Energy database for a particular location here. Morocco has launched one of the worlds largest solar energy projects costing an estimated 9 billion. Each specific site will of course be different Also local weather conditions and seasonal changes can significantly affect the amount of sunlight available. The Global Solar Atlas provides a summary of solar power potential and solar resources globally.
