Map of solar irradiation and ambient temperature

Map made by the Directorate General of Energy of the Government of the Canary Islands in collaboration with the Technological Institute of the Canary Islands (ITC) in 2017. The solar cartography of the Canary Islands is composed of two maps with a resolution of 250 meters that describe the horizontal global radiation in 10xWh/m2 and the ambient temperature in 10xoC for the entire territorial scope of the Canary archipelago. For each point in the mesh, annual average values and monthly average values for a standard year are also presented. These maps have been generated using Meteonorm 7.2 data which were subsequently adjusted with measurements collected from radiometric stations installed by the Instituto Tecnológico de Canarias, S.A. in different positions of the Canary Islands archipelago. In this computation, the microscale conditions generated with satellite data (specifically obtained with the MSG HRV and CMSAF Sarah 2) and topographical through the SRTM set were also considered.
