Solar Irradiance for Victoria

dataset: SOLAR_IRRADIANCE
The solar resource has been mapped on a 5 km x 5 km grid across Victoria, with the lowest achievable uncertainty (or error), for the following five components (or measures) of solar irradiance: - global horizontal irradiance (GHI) - global irradiance on a north facing plane inclined at latitude angle (GTI) - global irradiance on a 2 axis tracking normal plane (GNI) - direct beam irradiance (DNI) - diffuse horizontal irradiance (Diff). The data has been reformatted to include values for annual average as well as seasonal variations from data supplied by Hydro Electric Corporation trading as Entura The methodology is contained within the report prepared by Entura which is downloadable here: <a href=&#09;http://er-info.dpi.vic.gov.au/publications/documentation/geovic_3/energy_division/E300128-TR01%20Solar%20Atlas%20Victoria%20(public%20release)%20with%20calibration%20certificates.pdf&#09;>Solar Atlas Report</a> <a href=&#09;http://er-info.dpi.vic.gov.au/publications/gis/energy_division/solar_irradiance.zip&#09;>Solar Atlas - Solar Irradiance Data - esri shapefile download</a> Departmental contact: Dr. Adrian Panow Director, Energy Investment Department of Primary Industries - Victoria Ph: 9658 4140 Email: Adrian.Panow@dpi.vic.gov.au

Attribute Quality
The accuracy of the satellite-based values is estimated by comparison with 1-minute averaged measurements from Bureau of Meteorology surface-based instruments. The mean bias difference (average of the satellite - surface difference), calculated on an annual basis across all surface sites, is -7 to +50 W/m2 and typically around +30 W/m2. This is +5% of the mean irradiance of around 540 W/m2. The root mean square difference, calculated on a similar basis, is around 150 W/m2, which is 30% of the mean irradiance. 
Positional Accuracy
The satellite data on which the analyses were based have an associated resolution and typical accuracy of 0.01 degrees.
