This paper provides a summary of the solar resource information that has been developed to date for the 13 countries participating in the United Nations Environment Programme’s (UNEP’s) Solar and Wind Energy Resource Assessment (SWERA) project. The solar assessments include country-specific maps as well as maps of large regions encompassing these countries. In addition, solar time series and Typical Meteorological Year (TMY) data sets are developed for selected stations within each country. Besides these solar resource products developed by the SWERA international technical team, information on validation of the results, and intercomparison of the various approaches, has been done in collaboration with country partners working with the international team. These products are being used by government and industry to facilitate the development of renewable energy technologies in these developing countries.
