Solar power potential map europe.

Maps by country or region of solar resource and pv potential ready to print. The largest collection of free solar radiation maps. Typical meteorological year data for nine climatic variables. Full time series of hourly values of both solar radiation and pv performance.

There is considerable academic and commercial interest. Photovoltaic solar cells convert sunlight directly into electricity. Solar power the production of electricity from solar energy is performed either directly through photovoltaics or indirectly using concentrated solar power csp. The global solar atlas provides a summary of solar power potential and solar resources globally.

Yet the eu as a whole produces more electricity from solar power than anywhere else at 94 570 mw in 2015. The map above shows global solar energy potential of the various regions around the world including. European commission press release details page brussels 30 march 2007 a new map published by the european commission shows the photovoltaic solar energy potential of different parts of europe. Looking at the map above europe is not the obvious candidate to be the world leader in solar pv electricity generation.

One advantage that csp has is the ability to add thermal storage and provide power up to 24 hours a day. It is provided by the world bank group as a free service to governments developers and the general public and allows users to quickly obtain data and carry out a simple electricity output calculation for any location covered by the solar resource database. Gemasolar in spain was the first to provide 24 hour power.
