Eritrea Solar Resource Maps

Solar Radiation Map Index Brief Description

Annual Average Solar Radiation

WINTER SPRING SUMMER AUTUMN

Technical Description

Here we provide maps of mean daily global, horizontal solar radiation for Eritrea.

The maps were derived from visible meteosat images, where mean cloud reflectance was correlated with average daily horizontal solar radiation. The correlation of data with image pixel values has a mean error of about 250 Watts/square-meter/day
