Solar Resource: Himawari PSM v3

There are three datasets that use the NSRDB Himawari PSM v3 API calls:

• "himawari7_solar_v3_api"

• "himawari8_solar_v3_api"

• "himawari_tmy_solar_v3_api"

  • supports solar resource data for typical meteorological year (TMY), typical global horizontal irradiance year (TGY), and typical direct normal irradiance year (TDY)

These datasets allow for resource data to be downloaded for locations within Asia, Australia, and the Pacific.

Model	Temporal resolution	Spatial resolution	Years covered	Regions	Website
himawari7_solar_v3_api	30, 60 min	4 km	2011-2015	Asia, Australia & Pacific	Himawari 2011-15
himawari8_solar_v3_api	10, 30, 60 min	2 km	2016-2020	Asia, Australia & Pacific	Himawari 2016-2020
himawari_tmy_solar_v3_api	60 min	4 km	2020, for tmy, tdy and tgy	Asia, Australia & Pacific	Himawari TMY

Note

For the himawari_tmy_solar_v3_api model, the resource_year should be specified as a string formatted as tdy-2020 or tgy-2020 or tmy-2020.
