The Global Solar Atlas provides a summary of solar power potential and solar resources globally. It is provided by the World Bank Group as a free service to governments, developers and the general public, and allows users to quickly obtain data and carry out a simple electricity output calculation for any location covered by the solar resource database.
Yes, we now have access to a globally open dataset of solar power sites worldwide\. Four researchers from the University of Southampton published a report in the Nature journal, titled ‘Harmonised global datasets of wind and solar farm locations and power’. They have worked on this article.
The World Bank has published the study Global Photovoltaic Power Potential by Country, which provides an aggregated and harmonized view on solar resource and the potential for development of utility-scale photovoltaic (PV) power plants from the perspective of countries and regions.
The PV map is in the standard format of GeoTIFF, which could be easily further processed by both GIS software and coding language such as R and Python. The GEE code for generating PV map has also been released for the purpose of reproduction, including the calculation of each feature, random forest classification, etc.
Timely and accurate monitoring of the spatiotemporal distribution characteristics of solar power plants is essential to optimize China's renewable energy power distribution and achieve carbon reduction targets. However, long-term solar panel (SP) datasets are still lacking.
Above all, as the first publicly released 10-m national-scale distribution dataset of China’s ground-mounted PV power stations, it can provide data references for relevant researchers in fields such as energy, land, remote sensing and environmental sciences.
Although some researchers released several PV power station maps, most only met a medium resolution of 30 meters 9, 10. There thus still lacks a national map of China’s PV power stations with a higher spatial resolution (i.e., 10 meters) that could provide a global understanding of PV’s spatial deployment patterns.
