solar irradiance mapping

The impact of solar resource variability on several key global PV markets including India, Australia and North America has been revealed by a ten-year analysis from solar irradiance consultancy Solargis that illustrates “significant deviations from long-term averages”.

Solar radiation measurement solutions provider Kipp & Zonen is being acquired by Hach, a manufacturer of measurement equipment primarily in the water sector.

Brussels-headquartered consultancy and software service company 3E Data Services has launched a satellite-based solar irradiance mapping service which can be used to assess the likely profitability and performance of planned solar PV projects.
