Solar Resource Mapping in Pakistan SITE INSTALLATION REPORT July 2015 This report was prepared by CSP Services, under contract to The World Bank. It is one of several outputs from the solar Resource Mapping and Geospatial Planning Pakistan [Project ID: P146140]. This activity is funded and supported by the Energy Sector Management Assistance Program (ESMAP), a multi-donor trust fund administered by The World Bank, under a global initiative on Renewable Energy Resource Mapping. Further details on the initiative can be obtained from the ESMAP website. This document is an interim output from the above-mentioned project. Users are strongly advised to exercise caution when utilizing the information and data contained, as this has not been subject to full peer review. The final, validated, peer reviewed output from this project will be the Pakistan Solar Atlas, which will be published once the project is completed.

The station has been installed and commissioned on the roof of the IM Department building of NED University of Engineering and Technology (NED-UET) in Karachi, Pa- kistan (24.9334°N, 67.1116°E). The Tier2 station is equipped with a CSPS Twin-sensor Rotating Shadowband Irradi- ometer (RSI), a Kipp&Zonen CMP10 pyranometer for redundant GHI measurement, a Campbell Scientific CR1000 data logger, CS215 temperature and relative humidity probe, CS100 barometric pressure sensor, NRG #40C anemometer and NRG #200P wind direction sensor on a wind mast of 10 m height above the roof top. All sensors are integrated into the Tier2 meteorological data acquisition system. Power supply is provided by a solar panel and battery, designed for fully autonomous operation. Station maintenance will be done by local staff of NED-UET. The local personnel has been briefed on how the maintenance has to be done and in what frequency. The main task is to clean the irradiance sensors on a weekly basis. Upon request, further tasks as checking the levelling of the sensors, stability of the equipment, etc. might be carried out. Regular inspection and maintenance visits will be performed on a six- monthly interval by PITCO. Calibration certificates for the installed sensors will be handed over to AEDB and World Bank together with the station documentation and manual. Data retrieval will be done by CSPS via GPRS data transmission on a daily schedule, starting with the first day after installation; data will be provided to AEDB, WB and approved stakeholders on a daily basis by email in Excel format (for those recipients who wish to receive these emails) as well as on a data publication platform provided by WB in monthly interval.
