  Solar Radiation Data on a Fixed Surface
   
  The following web-based software permits you to generate daily and hourly solar irradiation values on a horizontal surface or a surface tilted to the equator. Click here if you need data for systems with two-axis or single-axis tracking. Please Contact us if you need solar energy data for your location or assistance with the design of solar energy conversion systems.
