Abstract

Solar resource information is essential for the reliable and cost-effective development of solar energy systems. It is used in a variety of applications but most importantly during the initial phases of any solar project. This chapter describes the available information and gives guidance on the types of solar resource information relevant to various stages of a solar project. It also informs readers about specific requirements relative to solar radiation data and how they depend on the type, size, and stage of the solar project.
