Photovoltaic Geographical Information System (PVGIS) Irradiance

Satellite-based irradiance data used to estimate PV generation in different locations. PVGIS is a web application that allows the user to get data on solar radiation and photovoltaic system energy production, at any place in most parts of the world. https://joint-research-centre.ec.europa.eu/photovoltaic-geographical-information-system-pvgis/getting-started-pvgis/pvgis-user-manual_en

Project description AURORA project is focused on solar energy and aimed at engaging citizens with energy sustainable behaviours across five locations (Denmark, England, Portugal, Slovenia, and Spain), where AURORA has installed photovoltaic panels and manages energy communities. For this purpose, AURORA has developed an app to monitor individual energy behavior which will help users to make more informed energy decisions and achieve near zero-emission goal. https://www.aurora-h2020.eu/
