Solar Global Horizontal Irradiance (KWh/m2/year) in West Africa

The resource was developed by NEXANT (EEUU) for ECREEE.using 3TiER global solar dataset with an annual temporal resolution. The project was funded by USAID.

This parameter is of particular interest to photovoltaic installations and includes both Direct Normal Irradiance (DNI) and Diffuse Horizontal Irradiance (DIF).

The format is raster (.geotiff) and the resolution is 3km.
