Maps of minimum, maximum, and average solar radiation data are available. Maps of average values are produced by averaging all 30 years of data for each site. Maps of minimum and maximum values are composites of specific months and years for which each site achieved its minimum or maximum amounts of solar radiation.

These false-color images show the average solar insolation, or rate of incoming sunlight at the Earth's surface, over the entire globe for the months of January and April. Such images are particularly useful to engineers and entrepreneurs who develop new technologies for converting solar energy into electricity.

Solar Insolation Levels In North America, Solar Insolation by city, state, zip code, lat/lon determine solar insolation levels for specific location The values of solar insolation are commonly expressed in kWh/m 2/day. This is the amount of solar energy that strikes a square meter of the earth's surface in a single...
