In 2005, The SHC Programme accepted the proposed task entitled “Solar Resource Knowledge Management” as Task 36 with collaboration of PVPS and SolarPACES

Purpose and Objectives

Provide standardization and benchmarking of international solar resource data sets to ensure reliability and intercomparability

=> Subtask A

Provide improved data availability and accessibility using data structures and information portals that address specific user needs

=> Subtask B

Develop and improve methods so that resource products, including solar resource forecasts, achieve greater accuracy with higher temporal and spatial resolution

=> Subtask C

INTERNATIONAL ENERGY AGENCY

Solar resource assessment

Remote sensing for resource assessment

• Meteosat First and Second Generation

• GOES satellites

• GMS satellites

• MODIS, ENVISAT, METOP

Provide clouds, aerosols, water vapourto derive solar irradiance.

Compare actual yield with satellite-based yield estimated from satellite measurement of global irradiance at the ground.

In case of significant deviation perform failure detection routines.
