SoDa provides and maintains an access to the spectrally integrated solar radiation resources of Copernicus Program:

• CAMS McClear (solar radiation database in clear sky conditions)
• CAMS Radiation service (satellite-derived, solar radiation database in all wky conditions)

SoDa pays attention to climate change. On this page, you will find more information about:

• a list of climate projections acronyms
• what type of trends in radiation we could expect for the coming years
• Mélodie Trolliet PhD thesis about the pertinence of P90 regarding climate projections
• Documentations, interesting links and key messages

Status of development of the service which will provide radiation values in the spectral range selected by the user. Default spectral ranges will be:

• Ultra Violet A and B, UV index and erythemal
• Photosynthetically Active Radiation (PAR) data
• PV technology

Status of development of the Heliosat-5-interim method. This method aims at providing a geographical and temporal extension of the satellite-derived solar-radiation HelioClim-3 database.

Solar Med Atlas, a solar atlas at 1 km around the Mediterranean sea, from Mauritania to Turkey.

European projects on Solar, Wind, Biomass, and Daylighting
