I have attached an Excel spreadsheet that contains hourly values of measured DNI (solar input) and net power output for an operating solar field. I have removed any information indicating the location. I can also provide a spreadsheet containing the calculation of solar position and clear-sky irradiation given time and location on the surface of the Earth.
Thank you for your prompt response. I appreciate your willingness to share the dataset. Could you please provide access to all datasets, including weather and, irradiance data, along with their corresponding locations?
I can't do that because the data are proprietary. You will find this for most data sets. Why do you need to know the location? If you are hoping to model a prospective solar field site, there is software available to do that, though some of it (e.g., PVSyst) is extremely expensive. For a particular location, cloud cover (i.e., clear sky vs. actual DNI) is very important. Phoenix, Arizona is known for their clear skies but even that doesn't translate into solar power, as this curve shows (based on NREL data).
