The Global Solar Atlas provides a summary of solar power potential and solar resources globally. 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.
This dashboard will consolidate the previous Biomass, Geothermal, Hydroelectric, Wind, and Solar maps into one new product that includes a map as well as charts and tables.
Petroleum This map represents the total production capacity & categories of power plants accross the United States. The vertical extrusions represent the capacity of each plant, their color indicating their type. The vasculature represents the movement of electricity from the plants into the grid. The energy grid is the world''s largest machine. However, it is not controlled by a
The largest collection of free solar radiation maps. Download maps of GHI, DNI, and PV output power potential for various countries, continents and regions.
The Estimation of solar energy potential of a region requires detailed solar radiation climatology. Also it is necessary to collect extensive radiation data of high accuracy covering all climatic...
The Global Solar Atlas, in addition to a series of global, regional and country GIS data layers and poster maps, has been developed to support the scale-up of solar power in countries across the world.
In solar energy, the Sun''s energy is directly converted into electricity using a solar cell made from semiconducting materials.
An interactive global map that provides solar potential with specific measurements available at chosen locations.

This map provides annual average total daily solar resource from PSM v3 at a resolution of 0.038-degree latitude by 0.038 longitude (nominally 4 km x 4 km). The insolation values represent the resource available for solar energy systems.
With advancements in technology, visualizing and accessing this valuable data has become easier than ever. Herein, various platforms and databases are discussed regarding their significance in tracking solar energy distributions, alongside the
This map provides annual average total daily solar resource from PSM v3 at a resolution of 0.038-degree latitude by 0.038 longitude (nominally 4 km x 4 km). The insolation values represent the resource available for solar energy systems.
Africa''s renewable energy resources are diverse, unevenly distributed and enormous in quantity —solar potential is almost unlimited (10 TW) and there are abundant hydro (350 GW), wind (110 GW) and geothermal energy sources (15 GW); Africa has 16 per cent of the global population, but consumes only 3.3 per cent of its primary energy;
Solar energy global distribution by belt and nation at variable geometrical regions on the globe is also presented. The rate at which solar energy reaches a unit area on the earth is defined as the “solar irradiance” or “insolation,” which are measured in the units of watts per square meter (W/m 2).
GIS layers and poster maps showing global, regional, and country resource potential can be found in the Download section. Further description of the data provided, the methodology for estimating solar resource potential, and guidance on how to use it, can be found in the Knowledge Base section.

Our solar energy maps have a very fine definition based on a 10×10 km grid of satellite data (100,000 points across Canada). Each point indicates the annual energy yield in kWh per kWp calculated for 2 mounting systems: the simpler and less efficient – fixed mounting at optimum tilt angle and the most complex and efficient – dual axis tracker.
For more information on NREL's solar resource data development, see the National Solar Radiation Database (NSRDB). The maps below illustrate select multiyear annual and monthly average maps and geospatial data from the National Solar Radiation Database (NSRDB) Physical Solar Model (PSM). The PSM covers most of the Americas.
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.
