This project focuses on solar resource mapping and measurement services as part of a technical assistance in the renewable energy development implemented by the World Bank in Malawi. It is being undertaken in close coordination with the Ministry of Natural Resources, Energy and Mining (MoNREM) of Malawi, the World Bank’s primary country counterpart for this project, and Malawi Meteorological Services (MMS). This project is funded by the Energy Sector Management Assistance Program (ESMAP), administered by the World Bank and supported by bilateral donors. This report summarizes results of two years of the measuring campaign at three solar meteorological stations installed in Malawi as part of the World Bank’s ESMAP mission in Malawi. This report describes delivery of site-specific solar resource and meteorological data for three sites, where solar meteorological stations have been operated. Because of high-quality operation of the meteorological sites and site adaptation of the Solargis model, reliable historical time series and TMY data is computed. The delivered time series and Typical Meteorological Year data is ready to use for bankable evaluation of solar energy projects. The report also describes the results quality control of site-specific measurements, methodology of site adaptation of the solar model, and related data uncertainties. The measurements at three sites are provided by GeoSUN Africa company (South Africa). The model data for the same sites and related works, together with this report are supplied by Solargis (Slovakia).  Réduire
