CH-POA300 -- Hourly Plane-of-Array Solar Irradiance at High Resolution for Switzerland

CH-POA300 is a dataset of hourly solar irradiance maps projected onto tilted surfaces (analogous to monofacial solar panels). - Spatial resolution: 300 m - Coverage: Switzerland Two temporal extents are available, depending on the number of surface orientations (azimuth–tilt combinations): 1. Long-term - Period: 2004–2020 - Orientations: - Azimuth: 180° (South) - Tilts: 0°, 35°, 60°, 90° 2. Typical year - Period: 2016 - Orientations: - Azimuths: 0° (North), 90° (East), 135°, 180° (South), 225°, 270° (West) - Tilts: 0°, 3°, 8°, 15°, 25°, 35°, 45°, 60°, 80°, 90° Notes - Azimuth angles: 0° = North, 90° = East, 180° = South, 270° = West - Tilt angles: 0° = horizontal, 90° = vertical Additional data - Seasonal and annual statistics derived from the maps are included. - Methodology and quality assessment are documented in CH-POA300-v#-specs.pdf.
