When asked “How are you planning to use the solar radiation data?”, here are some of the answers:
“It is going to be used as part of International Cooperation Project to build a Hospital in Haiti, to justify the need to use solar LED lights”
“In a study on solar water treatment for Haiti”
“Photovoltaic cell design”
“Help understand the magnitude and variability of solar radiation in the Caribbean”
“We’re working….on a 20K SqFt food processing facility. Still early in the process, but we’re considering solar for some of their energy needs.”
“Research for cellular company”
“Para dimensionar instalaciones solares fotovoltaicas”
“In our studies of plant photosynthesis in the coastal forest of Guánica”
“I am in the process of sizing a small stand-alone system for the general location within Kingston, Jamaica and would like to use the daily average insolation for each month.”
“To correctly size a off-grid system for Kingston, Jamaica.”
“SWAT input data”
“For solar parks”
I am very happy to see the public is finding this data useful. My thanks again to Dr. John Mecikalsk for extending the GDM GOES-based solar radiation model to include Puerto Rico, Hispaniola, Jamaica and Cuba.
