Müller et. al: Estimations of future solar resources (global horizontal irradiation) in the context of global dimming and brightening.
The solar radiation availability at the project site is a decisive parameter for determining the profitability of a PV power plant. We analyze the site’s solar resources using data from highly qualified data providers like Geomodel Solar and Meteocontrol of the University of Oldenberg. These data are compared with the local data providers (e.g. local meteorological stations) and ground measurements, if available.
