Solar irradiation on a horizontal surface
This dataset provides irradiation maps showing solar radiation on a horizontal surface, part of a series covering south-facing surfaces at four inclinations (horizontal, 30°, 75°, and 90°). The maps are based on nationwide modelling across Switzerland with a horizontal grid resolution of 50 metres, derived from measurement data spanning 2000-2020. It is published by the Swiss Federal Office of Energy (Bundesamt für Energie, BFE) under the Swiss Confederation. The data is useful for assessing solar energy potential at specific locations and supports planning of solar installations across the country.The irradiation maps show the solar radiation on a south-facing surface for four different inclinations: Horizontal, 30°, 75° and 90°. The data is based on Switzerland-wide modelling with a horizontal grid width of 50m. It is based on measurement data from the period 2000-2020 and the influence of…
