The Solar Atlas is a platform that contains databases relating to information (maps or archived records) on the solar field (GHI, DNI, GTI, etc.) from different places around the globe. these Solar Atlases are accessible through an online web interface, we list below the most famous platforms:
✔ Solar Atlas MASEN; ✔ Global Atlas IRENA; ✔ SolarGIS; ✔ SolarMed Atlas.
In addition to the solar field, these platforms provide certain additional information, such as temperature, humidity, wind speed, etc.
This solar radiation mapping system is intended to “help decision-makers in their thinking on photovoltaic and thermodynamic solar projects”. Its goal is to provide the various public and private players in the field of solar energy, as well as individuals, with a “ reliable tool ” allowing them to determine the sites for the installation of solar energy production systems, to size them or assess their profitability.
