Running a ground-monitoring campaign and combining measurements with satellite derived data is the way to obtain low uncertainties.
Values are indicative and represent long term annual averages.

• All CSP developers deploy on-site solar (and meteorological) measurements
• Mandated by RE-IPPPP (CSP) and required by banks• Due to higher uncertainties of satellite derived data• In established markets PV plants can rely on satellite derived data
only (no ground measurements) for GHI. In new markets (mainly developing countries) ground measurements are required.
