The goal was to evaluate if the location is suitable for the installation of a solar ground measurement station in the framework of the project. Two different sites have been examined on the campus, one directly next to the existing meteorological station of Communications Satellite Corporation Commission on Science and Technology for Sustainable Development in the South (COMSATS) (site one) and the other on top of a campus building (site two). Site one is recommended for the installation of a tier one or tier two meteorological stations. Site two is also suitable with even smaller durations of shading impacts, but the location on the rooftop is unfavorable for maintenance purposes and due to the somewhat higher amount of obstructed horizon towards east within the sun’s path. The report presents the following: executive summary; procedure and tasks of the site visit; site visit results; and conclusion.  Réduire
