How this service works
Global Solar Atlas long-term average solar resource at one latitude and longitude: specific PV output (kWh per kWp per year), GHI, DNI, diffuse irradiation and air temperature, from the World Bank / Solargis public API. Not a yield guarantee for a specific plant.
Output
A JSON object containing the queried latitude and longitude, long-term average specific PV output (kWh/kWp/year), global horizontal irradiation (GHI, kWh/m²), direct normal irradiation (DNI, kWh/m²), diffuse irradiation (kWh/m²), mean air temperature (°C), elevation (m), data period, source URL, and the timestamp the data was checked.
Example use cases
Solar project feasibility screening
“I'm evaluating a site for a solar farm at latitude 33.9, longitude -6.8 in Morocco — can you pull the long-term average PV output, GHI, and DNI from the Global Solar Atlas so I can do a preliminary energy yield estimate?”
Rooftop solar ROI estimation
“We're thinking of installing rooftop solar panels in Madrid — coordinates are latitude 40.4, longitude -3.7. What's the expected annual kWh output per kWp installed, and what's the average air temperature and GHI there?”
Multi-site solar resource comparison
“Compare the solar resource at two candidate locations: latitude 24.0, longitude 54.4 in Abu Dhabi versus latitude -33.9, longitude 18.4 in Cape Town. I need PV output, GHI, and DNI for each so I can decide which site has better irradiation.”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://api.tradeenergy-api.workers.dev/api/energy/global-solar-atlas-pv?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need standardized, long-term average solar resource data (not real-time or forecast) for any global coordinate, particularly for feasibility studies, energy modeling, or site screening. It wraps the authoritative World Bank / Solargis Global Solar Atlas, so prefer it over generic weather APIs when PV-specific metrics (kWh/kWp) and irradiation components (GHI, DNI, diffuse) are required. It is not suitable for real-time irradiance, short-term forecasting, or plant-level yield guarantees.
Side effects
- Coordinates out of range (-90 to 90 lat, -180 to 180 lon) — returns validation error
- Location over ocean or area with no Solargis coverage — upstream API may return null or error
- Missing required lat or lon query parameters — returns 400 bad request
- Upstream Global Solar Atlas API unavailable — proxy returns 5xx error
- Non-numeric strings passed as lat/lon — returns parsing or validation error
