Motivation Solar radiation is the fuel of solar energy. Knowledge about its availability is crucial for the successful development of Solar energy policies Solar energy investments The knowledge on the solar resource is very uncertain in the Southern and Eastern Mediterranean Information on resources and potentials is essential to trigger developments Good Basic solar radiation information should be a public good (common investment for everybody s profit, as e.g. infrastructures). 5
Objectives Improve the resource data base by High resolution solar radiation mapping (GHI + DNI) based on satellite images Use of open and transparent state of the art algorithms Transparent validation of the data base Free access to monthly values Improve access by Open system architecture based on internet standards Easy to use web interface Downloadable data (monthly time series and maps) Web applications for data analysis Linking ancillary information (Socio-Economic, GIS data) Improve the knowledge data base for solar energy policy making and investments 6

www.dlr.de Chart 20 > From EO in GEOSS and GMESS to the IRENA Global Atlas > Carsten Hoyer-Klick et al, > Geospatial World Forum Geneva > May 9th 2014 History of the political process for the Global Atlas Within the technology action plans of the Major Economies Forum for COP 15 in Copenhagen, a need for a global atlas for solar and wind energy was identified The process was split in the Major Economies Forum and the Clean Energy Ministerial. A multilateral working group for solar and wind energy was formed, headed by Denmark, Germany and Spain. The global atlas is developed in the framework of this multilateral working group. IRENA joined and became the secretariat of the process
www.dlr.de Chart 21 > From EO in GEOSS and GMESS to the IRENA Global Atlas > Carsten Hoyer-Klick et al, > Geospatial World Forum Geneva > May 9th 2014 History of the political process The atlas was presented at the ministerial meeting in April 2012 in London and officially launched during the IRENA General Assembly in January 2013.

Alternative hosting options e.g. though Masdar are available if data owners do not want to host themselves Data sets should be added to a GEOSS compliant catalog to be searchable by the global atlas On the formal side usually a data sharing agreement between IRENA and the provider is signed
