3. Solargis Database Description

This report and data is based on Solargis high-resolution database operated by Solargis s.r.o. company. Solar resource data(GHI, DIF, DNI and GTI) is calculated by a suit of solar models, and the data inputs are derived from geostationarymeteorological satellites and global meteorological models. Meteorological data (TEMP, RH, WS, WD, AP and PWAT) areprocessed from the outputs of global meteorological models. All Solargis parameters are validated by quality-controlledground measurements acquired by high-accuracy meteorological equipment worldwide. The spatial and time resolution ofthe original input data are harmonized during the model processing to achieve the best possible.

Output from the database Solargis v2.2.10

Solar Resource

Description: Data calculated from Meteosat MSG and MFG satellite data (© 2020 EUMETSAT) and fromatmospheric data (© 2020 ECMWF, NOAA and NASA) by Solargis method

Spatial resolution: 250 m

Meteorological Data

Description: Spatially disaggregated from CFSv2 and GFS (© 2020 NOAA) and ERA5 (© 2020 ECMWF) bySolargis method

Spatial resolution: Temperature 1 km, other meteorological parameters 33 km to 55 km

Terrain shading is not considered in this delivery. Occasional deviations in calculations may occur as a result ofmathematical rounding and cannot be considered as a defect of algorithms. Acronyms used later in this report: TS - timeseries, TMY - typical meteorological year, LTA - long-term average, STDEV - standard deviation.

Code Description CSV file PDF report

GHId Average daily sum of global horizontal irradiation [kWh/m²]

GHIm Monthly sum of global horizontal irradiation [kWh/m²]

DIFd Average daily sum of diffuse horizontal irradiation [Wh/m²]

DIFm Monthly sum of diffuse horizontal irradiation [Wh/m²]

GTId Average daily sum of global tilted irradiation [kWh/m²](fixed inclination: 33 deg. azimuth: 180 deg., rel. rowspacing: 2.6)

GTIm Monthly sum of global tilted irradiation [kWh/m²] (fixedinclination: 33 deg. azimuth: 180 deg., rel. row spacing:2.6)

TEMP Average diurnal (24 hour) air temperature at 2 m [deg. C]

WS Average wind speed at 10 m [m/s]

Regarding data tables on the next pages, background color of cells in the 'Year' column means: grey color - yearly value iswithin the standard deviation band - a normal year, red or blue color is reserved for exceptional years above or belowstandard deviation band respectively.

5. Data Uncertainty

Solar Resource

Quality of Solargis data is determined by underlying models, spatial and temporal resolution of atmospheric andmeteorological inputs, and their accuracy. Solargis data has been validated at 250+ public and many commercial locations,where high quality measurements were available. Statistics such as bias and RMSD are used for estimation of user‘suncertainty. Solargis model demonstrates stable performance globally, and uncertainty lies within the margins describedbelow.

For objective evaluation, the model has to be evaluated with quality-controlled data measured using high standard andprofessionally maintained instruments. If validation at a particular site shows higher deviations, there is high probability thatthere are issues with local measurements.

Uncertainty of Solargis GHI and DNI yearly summaries for 80% of observations is within the range of ±4% and ±8% (±5%and ±10% for 90% of observations), respectively. In complex geographies and extreme cases, uncertainty of GHI and DNIyearly summaries can be as high as ±8% and ±15%, respectively.

Regions where lower uncertainty (below or equal to ±4% for yearly GHI and ±8% for DNI) can be typically expected: Mostof Europe and North America below latitude approx. 50° (see exceptions below), South Africa, Chile, Brazil, Australia, Japan,Morocco, Mediterranean region and Arabian Peninsula (except the Gulf region). Lower uncertainty is expected in regionswith good availability of high-quality ground measurements.

Regions where higher uncertainty can be expected (above ±4% for yearly GHI and above ±8% for DNI): high latitudes(approx. above 50°), high mountains, regions with regular snow and ice coverage, high-reflectance deserts, urbanized andindustrialized areas, regions with high and dynamically changing concentrations of atmospheric aerosols (Northern India,West Africa, Gulf region, some regions in China), coastal zone (approx. up to 15 km from water) and humid tropical climate.Higher uncertainty is also assumed in regions with limited or no availability of high-quality ground measurements.

Meteorological Data

Meteorological parameters are derived from the numerical weather models CFSR, CFSv2, MERRA-2 and GFSprod. Comparedto solar resource data, they have lower spatial and temporal resolution, and lower accuracy. They characterize widergeographic region rather than a specific site. Especially relative humidity, wind speed and wind direction values have higheruncertainty, they may not accurately characterize the local microclimate and should be used with caution. The validationprocedure was carried out to compare the modelled data with ground-measured data from the meteorological stationsavailable through NOAA Integrated Surface Database network. In the validation of air temperature, wind speed and relativehumidity, the hourly measurements at more than 11000 stations were used. Uncertainty of yearly estimates for selectedmeteorological parameters (considering 80% occurrence): air temperature ±1.3 °C, relative humidity: ±11%, wind speed±1.7 m/s.

The originality of CSV data files can be verified by the 'file checksum' (e.g. on this web page http://onlinemd5.com/). MD5algorithm is used for the checksum. Using the 'sum of all values' is another way how to check the data originality in casethe 'file checksum' is not longer valid (e.g. the file was edited and saved in Excel). The indicative sum of all data values inSolargis CSV files is rounded to an integer.
