Abstract/Summary:

---

Global irradiation is the main source for photovoltaic (PV) energy production. The knowledge of the incoming solar short-wave irradiation is of major importance for the planning, monitoring and operation of solar energy power plants and grid operations. In this paper we present a validation of the newly developed Meteonorm Satellite Irradiation (MNSI) dataset for Europe, Middle East and Africa. Uncertainties of 12-25% relative RMSE for hourly values has been found.
