SSE
type: Concept
in scheme: projects
definition: Surface Solar Energy (SSE) involves over 100 satellite-derived meteorology and solar energy parameters, monthly averaged from 10 years of data, data tables for a particular location, color plots on both global and regional scales, global solar energy data for 1195 ground sites, and data for the RETScreen? Renewable Energy Project Analysis Software. Surface Solar Energy (SSE) contains data sets that involve resource parameters formulated for assessing and designing renewable energy systems. The SSE data set is available free-of-charge over the Internet ("http://eosweb.larc.nasa.gov/sse/"). The SSE global data set makes it possible to quickly evaluate the potential of renewable energy projects for any region of the world and is considered to be accurate for preliminary feasibility studies of renewable energy projects.
