High resolution (5 minute) historical and real-time time-series data is available on demand in the contiguous U.S. (latitudes 15° to 50°, longitudes -125° to -62°) and Hawaii from 1/1/2020 and is updated at 5-minute intervals.
High resolution (5 minute and 1 minute) typical year data is available globally between +/-60 latitude.
1Satellite visible-light resolution. Regions with more than 1 spatial resolution were covered by satellites whose spatial resolution changed during our period of record. For consistency across geographies, data is accessed in 1km and 10km nominal, which corresponds to 0.01 or 0.1 degree grid.
2Temporal resolution indicates how often new satellite imagery is refreshed for the various sources.
SolarAnywhere High-Latitude Data
We offer basic irradiance data in high-latitude regions, covering +/-[60–80] degrees latitude. While satellite coverage of this region is available, native data resolutions are much coarser than our data within 60 degrees latitude. For more information, see our high-latitude methods and validation.
