The acquisition of solar energy resource data may require a certain amount of time and cost, and the accuracy and reliability of the data also need to be considered. When selecting data sources and using data, it is recommended to comprehensively consider multiple sources to ensure the reliability and applicability of the data.
There are several ways to obtain local solar resource data:
1. Meteorological stations and meteorological data: local meteorological stations usually measure and record solar radiation data, including Sunshine duration, radiation, etc. Contact the local meteorological bureau or meteorological service provider to obtain historical and real-time solar resource data.
2. Solar resource maps and databases: Some institutions and organizations will produce solar resource maps and databases, which contain solar resource information from around the world. Obtain local solar radiation data, solar potential assessment, and other information through these resource maps and databases.
3. Photovoltaic system monitoring data: If there is already an installed photovoltaic system nearby, monitoring data can be obtained from the system operator or owner. These data include daily electricity generation, power output, etc., indirectly reflecting the local solar energy resource situation.
4. Online platforms and tools: Some online platforms and tools provide services for estimating solar energy resources. These platforms and tools typically utilize geographic location, meteorological data, and other information to simulate and predict solar energy resources. The user enters the coordinates or address of the location to obtain local solar energy resource data.
5. Professional consulting and evaluation institutions: If more detailed and accurate solar resource data is needed, consult a professional solar system designer, engineer, or evaluation institution. Conduct a detailed resource assessment, including measurement, simulation, and analysis, to provide accurate solar resource data.
