Once a site is selected, photovoltaic electricity yield can be interactively estimated with the help of pvPlanner. We are committed to increase efficiency and reliability of solar technology by provision of expert consultancy and access to our databases and customer-oriented services. iMaps, a state-of-the-art interactive mapping tool, enables identification of the best locations for solar energy projects. Primary business of GeoModel Solar is in site qualification, planning, financing and operation of solar energy systems. The SolarGIS platform also provides access to the online site assessment tools: iMaps and pvPlanner. The maps and data can be accessed through the SolarGIS web-based platform. Wikus van Niekerk, Director of the Centre. Utilization of such information can have a significant impact on profitability and efficiency of projects,В” said Prof. 'These maps are a very useful source of solar resource information. SolarGIS, developed by GeoModel Solar, has been extensively validated by a number of local ground measurements in partnership with Centre for Renewable and Sustainable Energy Studies, Stellenbosch University. High reliability of maps was achieved thanks to the use of data from SolarGIS, the most accurate solar resource database available for Southern Africa. Hence, it is very important to have access to data with high accuracy and spatial resolution, making it possible to predict a solar plantВ’s output with greater confidence,' he added. 'The solar radiation received in some regions can vary by up to 20 percent within a distance of 10 kilometres. As regards temporal resolution, the underlying solar database represents more than 18 years of historical data (1994 вЂ“ to present) with a time step of up to 15 minutes,' said Marcel Suri, Managing Director of GeoModel Solar. 'Uniqueness of these maps is reflected in their very high spatial resolution of 250 metres. The abundant global and direct solar radiation is now mapped in the best possible quality, which will support the development of photovoltaic and concentrated solar energy in the country. GeoModel Solar, an international provider of solar resource data, online site assessment tools, and expert consultancy, today released a new set of solar maps for South Africa, Lesotho, and Swaziland.
