Layer: Solar Insolation (W/m2) (ID: 2)

Name: Solar Insolation (W/m2)

Display Field: Name

Type: Raster Catalog Layer

Geometry Type: esriGeometryPolygon

Description: These maps show where and how much sunlight fell on Earth's surface during the 2011. Scientists call this measure solar insolation. Knowing how much of the Sun's energy reaches the surface helps scientists understand weather and climate patterns as well as patterns of plant growth around our world. Solar insolation maps are also useful to engineers who design solar panels and batteries designed to convert energy from the Sun into electricity to power appliances in our homes and work places.
