The National Solar Radiation Database (NSRDB) is an extensive collection of solar radiation data used by solar planners and designers, building architects and engineers, renewable energy analysts, and experts in many other disciplines and professions. In 2012, the NSRDB was updated to include data from 1991 through 2010.
It is provided by the World Bank Group as a free service to governments, developers and the general public, and allows users to quickly obtain data and carry out a simple electricity output calculation for any location covered by the solar resource database.
Modeled solar and meteorological data are available for all land areas between 60°N to 45°S. Detailed information is provided in the Technical report. Below is a summary of data that can be downloaded from the Atlas:
NREL has provided solar resource data for the United States through the NRSDB for more than 25 years. The NSRDB contains not only data for the United States, but also for a growing list of countries in different parts of the world. Learn about the Typical Meterological Year (TMY) data type used in the NSRDB.
Data is offered in both ASCII and netCDF format. Additionally, an ASCII "expert mode" format can be selected which contains in addition to the irradiation, all the input data used in their calculation (aerosol optical properties, water vapour concentration, etc).
Thank you. The CAMS solar radiation services provide historical values (2004 to present) of global (GHI), direct (BHI) and diffuse (DHI) solar irradiation, as well as direct normal irradiation (BNI).
