Global onshore, optimised solar PV data (FLH, row pitch, tilt angle, capacity density, single-axis tracking gain, bifacial gain) for fixed-tilted, single-axis tracking, East-West vertical, monofacial, and bifacial systems in 0.45°x0.45° resolution

The article is currently under review. Data will be available after acceptance of the article.

Please check for the two file options (.mat and .nc)!

The filenames indicate the content:

bifacial - bifacial modules

monofacial - monofacial modules

fixed - fixed tilted setup

single - single-axis tracking (north-south axis) setup

verticalEW - east-west vertical setup (50% east, 50% west)

rowMap - 0.45°x0.45° gridded data for optimised row pitch

tiltMap - 0.45°x0.45° gridded data for optimised tilt angle

FLHmap - 0.45°x0.45° gridded data for optimised yield expressed in full load hours

singleGain - 0.45°x0.45° gridded data for relative yield gain using single-axis tracking instead of fixed tilted

bifacialGain - 0.45°x0.45° gridded data for relative yield gain using bifacial modules instead of monofacial modules

CPFprofiles - 0.45°x0.45° gridded capacity factor profiles in hourly resolution (8760 hours)
