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 geostationary
meteorological satellites and global meteorological models. Meteorological data (TEMP, RH, WS, WD, WG, PREC, AP, SDWE
and PWAT) are processed from the outputs of global meteorological models. All Solargis parameters are validated by
quality-controlled ground measurements acquired by high-accuracy meteorological equipment worldwide. The spatial and
time resolution of the original input data are harmonized during the model processing to achieve the best possible.

Output from the database Solargis v2.2.23


Solar Resource
Description: Data calculated from Meteosat MSG IODC and Meteosat MFG IODC satellite data (© 2022
EUMETSAT) and from atmospheric data (© 2022 ECMWF, NOAA and NASA) by Solargis method

Spatial resolution: 250 m

Meteorological Data
Description: Spatially disaggregated from CFSv2 and GFS (© 2022 NOAA) and ERA5 (© 2022 ECMWF) by
Solargis 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 of
mathematical rounding and cannot be considered as a defect of algorithms. Acronyms used later in this report: TS - time
series, TMY - typical meteorological year, LTA - long-term average, STDEV - standard deviation.

5. Typical Meteorological Year (TMY) Overview

TMY data is delivered, together with the time series data and this report. TMY contains hourly values derived from the time
series covering complete calendar years. The data history is compressed into one year, following two criteria. The first is
minimum difference between statistical characteristics (annual average, monthly averages) of TMY and time series. This
criterion is given 80% weighting. The second criterion is maximum similarity of monthly Cumulative Distribution Functions of
TMY and full-time series, so that the occurrence of typical hourly values is well represented for each month. This criterion is
given 20% weighting.

TMY P50 data set represents, for each month, the average climate conditions and the most representative cumulative
distribution function, therefore extreme situations (e.g. extremely cloudy weather) are not represented in this dataset.

Type of data: Hourly TMY, 8760 records (time reference UTC+5)

Time representation: 01/01/1999 - 31/12/2021

TMY method: solargis_3


Parameters:

GHI Global horizontal irradiation [Wh/m²]

DNI Direct normal irradiation [Wh/m²]

DIF Diffuse horizontal irradiation [Wh/m²]

SE Sun altitude (elevation) angle [deg.]

SA Sun azimuth angle [deg.]

Important note:
Data reduction in TMY is not possible without loss of information contained in the original multiyear time series. Therefore time
series data can only be considered as the reference for the statistical analysis of solar resource and meteorological conditions of
the site. Only time series data are used for the statistical analysis in this report.

6. Data Uncertainty

Solar Resource

Quality of Solargis data is determined by underlying models, spatial and temporal resolution of atmospheric and
meteorological 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‘s uncertainty. Solargis model demonstrates stable performance globally, and uncertainty lies within the margins
described below.

For objective evaluation, the model has to be evaluated with quality-controlled data measured using high standard and
professionally maintained instruments. If validation at a particular site shows higher deviations, there is high probability
that there 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 DNI yearly 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:
Most of 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 regions with 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
and industrialized 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.
Compared to solar resource data, they have lower spatial and temporal resolution, and lower accuracy. They
characterize wider geographic region rather than a specific site. Especially relative humidity, wind speed and wind
direction values have higher uncertainty, they may not accurately characterize the local microclimate and should be
used with caution. The validation procedure was carried out to compare the modelled data with ground-measured data
from the meteorological stations available through NOAA Integrated Surface Database network. In the validation of air
temperature, wind speed and relative humidity, the hourly measurements at more than 11000 stations were used.
Uncertainty of yearly estimates for selected meteorological parameters (considering 80% occurrence): air temperature
±1.3 °C, relative humidity: ±11%, wind speed ±1.7 m/s.

MD5 algorithm is used for the checksum. Using the 'sum of all values' is another way how to check the data originality in
case the 'file checksum' is not longer valid (e.g. the file was edited and saved in Excel). The indicative sum of all data
values in Solargis CSV files is rounded to an integer.
