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

Output from the database Solargis v2.2.10

Solar Resource

Description: Data calculated from Meteosat MSG and MFG satellite data (© 2020 EUMETSAT) and fromatmospheric data (© 2020 ECMWF, NOAA and NASA) by Solargis method

Spatial resolution: 250 m

Meteorological Data

Description: Spatially disaggregated from CFSv2 and GFS (© 2020 NOAA) and ERA5 (© 2020 ECMWF) bySolargis 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 ofmathematical rounding and cannot be considered as a defect of algorithms. Acronyms used later in this report: TS - timeseries, TMY - typical meteorological year, LTA - long-term average, STDEV - standard deviation.

Parameters:

Code Description CSV file PDF report

GHI Global horizontal irradiation [Wh/m²]

DNI Direct normal irradiation [Wh/m²]

DIF Diffuse horizontal irradiation [Wh/m²]

GTI Global tilted irradiation [Wh/m²] (fixed inclination: 33 deg.azimuth: 180 deg., rel. row spacing: 2.6)

flagR Cloud identification quality flag: 0: sun below horizon, 1:model value, 2: interpolated 1hour, 5: long term monthlymedian or persistence, 6: synthetic data, 11:NWP forecast

SE Sun altitude (elevation) angle [deg.]

SA Sun azimuth angle [deg.]

TEMP Air temperature at 2 m [deg. C]

WS Wind speed at 10 m [m/s]

WD Wind direction at 10 m [deg.]

RH Relative humidity [%]

AP Atmospheric pressure [hPa]

PWAT Precipitable water [kg/m²]

Regarding data tables on the next pages, background color of cells in the 'Year' column means: grey color - yearly value iswithin the standard deviation band - a normal year, red or blue color is reserved for exceptional years above or belowstandard deviation band respectively.

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

TMY P50 data set represents, for each month, the average climate conditions and the most representative cumulativedistribution 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+0)

Time representation: 01/01/1994 - 31/12/2019

TMY method: SolarGIS_2

Parameters:

Code Description CSV file PDF report

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.]

TEMP Air temperature at 2 m [deg. C]

WS Wind speed at 10 m [m/s]

WD Wind direction at 10 m [deg.]

RH Relative humidity [%]

AP Atmospheric pressure [hPa]

PWAT Precipitable water [kg/m²]

Important note:Data reduction in TMY is not possible without loss of information contained in the original multiyear time series. Therefore timeseries data can only be considered as the reference for the statistical analysis of solar resource and meteorological conditions ofthe 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 andmeteorological inputs, and their accuracy. Solargis data has been validated at 250+ public and many commerciallocations, where high quality measurements were available. Statistics such as bias and RMSD are used for estimation ofuser‘s uncertainty. Solargis model demonstrates stable performance globally, and uncertainty lies within the marginsdescribed below.

For objective evaluation, the model has to be evaluated with quality-controlled data measured using high standard andprofessionally maintained instruments. If validation at a particular site shows higher deviations, there is high probabilitythat 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 ofGHI 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 isexpected 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, urbanizedand industrialized areas, regions with high and dynamically changing concentrations of atmospheric aerosols (NorthernIndia, West Africa, Gulf region, some regions in China), coastal zone (approx. up to 15 km from water) and humidtropical climate. Higher uncertainty is also assumed in regions with limited or no availability of high-quality groundmeasurements.

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. Theycharacterize wider geographic region rather than a specific site. Especially relative humidity, wind speed and winddirection values have higher uncertainty, they may not accurately characterize the local microclimate and should beused with caution. The validation procedure was carried out to compare the modelled data with ground-measured datafrom the meteorological stations available through NOAA Integrated Surface Database network. In the validation of airtemperature, 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.

The originality of CSV data files can be verified by the 'file checksum' (e.g. on this web page http://onlinemd5.com/).MD5 algorithm is used for the checksum. Using the 'sum of all values' is another way how to check the data originality incase the 'file checksum' is not longer valid (e.g. the file was edited and saved in Excel). The indicative sum of all datavalues in Solargis CSV files is rounded to an integer.
