What is a solar energy roadmap?
The process of devising a roadmap is as important as the roadmap itself for ensuring the success of solar energy technologies. The first phase of roadmapping – identifying all stakeholders and engaging in extensive dialogue – is decisive. It leads to the second phase, the building of a common vision.
What is the solar resource potential report based on?
The report is based on data provided by the World Bank through the Global Solar Atlas, a free, web-based tool providing the latest data on solar resource potential globally. It is accompanied by country factsheets, downloadable from the Global Solar Atlas, that provide a summary of the resource potential and how it compares to other countries.
What is a grid-connected photovoltaic (PV) energy estimate?
Estimates the energy production of grid-connected photovoltaic (PV) energy systems throughout the world. It allows homeowners, small building owners, installers and manufacturers to easily develop estimates of the performance of potential PV installations.
