How do I use the Global Solar Atlas?

Welcome to the Global Solar Atlas. Start exploring solar potential by clicking on the map. Select sites, draw rectangles or polygons by clicking the respective map controls. Calculate energy production for selected sites. The Global Solar Atlas provides a summary of solar power potential and solar resources globally.

How will Atlas help AES build new solar projects?

AES teams will use Atlas as a next-generation tool in the construction of new solar projects. Atlas will complement the AES skilled workforce by keeping them safe and performing the heavy lifting, placing and attachment of solar modules, while adding new high-tech jobs.

How big is the world's largest solar power installation?

To give you a sense of scale, that's nearly 10 times the size of the world's current largest solar power installation, the 2.245-GW Bhadia Solar Park in India, and more than 30 times more energy storage than the last "world's biggest battery" project we covered in February. It's a bit big.

Will XLinks' solar panels be a wind farm?

Bolstering the solar panels will be a wind farm, harnessing breezes that Xlinks claims are at their strongest in the late afternoon and early evening—peak hours in the U.K., which shares a time zone with Morocco during the summer. The plans also call for a 5-GW battery facility in Morocco capable of producing 22.5 gigawatt-hours of energy storage.

Where are solar power potentials found?

Therefore, the top values of solar resource and PV power potential are found in northwest Argentina, Bolivia, northern Chile, and southern Peru. Second, the opposite extreme is observed in the central Chinese provinces Chongqing and East Sichuan.
