ABOUT

This pdf report (the “Work”) is automatically generated from the Global Solar Atlas online app (https://globalsolaratlas.info/), prepared by
Solargis under contract to The World Bank, based on a solar resource database that Solargis owns and maintains. It provides the estimated
solar resource, air temperature data and potential solar power output for the selected location and input parameters of a photovoltaic (PV)
power system.
