Global Solar Atlas - PV Electricity Output
PV Electricity Output per year and mean monthly rates per day from the Global Solar Atlas. (Retiring)
Retirement Notice: This item is in mature support as of November 2025 and will be retired in December 2026. A new version of this item is available for your use. Esri recommends updating your maps and apps to use the new version. Electrical energy produced by a photovoltaic system (PVOUT) from the Global Solar Atlas. The PVOUT is the electrical energy that can be produced per capacity installed. It is reported as the total PVOUT (kWh/kWp per year) and also the monthly rates (kWh/kWp x1000 per day).These layers are processing templates from the Global Solar Atlas image service.
What can you do with these layers? These layers can be used to estimate the annual energy yield of a PV system and compare its inter-annual variation.Associated web maps Cell Size: 30 arc-seconds Source Type: Continous Pixel Type: Integer Projection: GCS WGS84 Extent: Global Source: Global Solar Atlas ArcGIS Server URL: https://earthobs3.arcgis.com/arcgis
