Motivation

• Solar radiation is the fuel of solar energy. Knowledge about its availability is crucial for the successful development ofis crucial for the successful development of– Solar energy policies– Solar energy investments

• The knowledge on the solar resource is very uncertain in the Southern and Eastern Mediterranean

• Information on resources and potentials is essential to trigger developments

• Good Basic solar radiation information should be a public good (common investment for everybody’s profit, as e.g. infrastructures).

5

Objectives

• Improve the resource data base by– High resolution solar radiation mapping (GHI + DNI) – High resolution solar radiation mapping (GHI + DNI)

based on satellite images– Use of open and transparent state of the art algorithms– Transparent validation of the data base– Transparent validation of the data base– Free access to monthly values

• Improve access by– Open system architecture based on internet standards– Open system architecture based on internet standards– Easy to use web interface– Downloadable data (monthly time series and maps)– Web applications for data analysis– Web applications for data analysis– Linking ancillary information (Socio-Economic, GIS data)

• Improve the knowledge data base for solar energy policy making and investmentsinvestments

History of the political process for the Global Atlas

in Copenhagen, a need for a global atlas for solar and wind energy was identified

• The process was split in the Major Economies Forum and the Clean Energy • The process was split in the Major Economies Forum and the Clean Energy Ministerial. A multilateral working group for solar and wind energy was formed, headed by Denmark, Germany and Spain.

• The global atlas is developed in the framework of this multilateral working group.

• IRENA joined and became the secretariat of the process• IRENA joined and became the secretariat of the process

History of the political process


• The atlas was presented at the ministerial meeting in April 2012 in London and officially launched during the IRENA General Assembly in January 2013.
