Description: Solar resource: DIRECT NORMAL IRRADIATION (DNI) - this map provides a summary of the estimated solar energy available for power generation and other energy applications. It represents the average daily/yearly totals of direct normal irradiation (DNI), covering the period from 1994/1999/2007 (depending on the geographical region) to 2018. The underlying solar resource database is calculated by the Solargis model from atmospheric and satellite data with 10-, 15- and 30-minute time step respectively, and a spatial resolution of 250 m. Further details available from: https://globalsolaratlas.info. DNI is the most important parameter for energy yield calculation and performance assessment of concentrating solar power (CSP) and concentrator solar photovoltaic (CPV) technologies. DNI is also important for the calculation of global irradiation received by tilted or sun-tracking photovoltaic modules. Further details available at: https://globalsolaratlas.info.
