Bhutan Solar Resources
GIS data for Bhutan's direct normal irradiance (DNI), global horizontal irradiance (GHI), and latitude tilt irradiance. Researchers from NREL and the Atmospheric Sciences Research Center (ASRC) at the State University of New York (SUNY) at Albany developed the estimates of Bhutans solar resource. SUNY researchers generated the estimates of GHI and DNI using images collected at hourly intervals between December 2002 and January 2007 from the European Meteosat 5 and 7 geostationary satellites. NREL used the GHI data to generate estimates of the resource potential at latitude tilt, and to create the solar resource maps. This submission includes GIS resources of the results for this study. This data can be used to help with energy production and infrastructure planning in Bhutan.
