Homepage Info Manual Post processed www.renewables.ninja v1.1 data, Europe

Motivation: liked the bias corrected wind and solar country data from renewables.ninja, and decided to visualize it in a similar way as the PVGIS data.

Europe - countries
Renewables.ninja post processing info

Select a country on the map to access post-processed statistics. Data from Renewables.ninja is used for weather, wind and photovoltaic (PV) power. For wind the installed capacity of 2016 is used, and for temperature related statistics the MERRA-2 population weight average is used. The reference below detail the data modeling strategy. We provide post-processed results using data for years 2005..2015, with UTC data converted to local time.

Acknowledgement: many thanks to the Renewables.ninja team for open access to the v1.1 data-set of Europe, covering 1980-2016 data for weather, solar and wind on a country basis.

In this work, hourly data is post-processing into yearly, monthly and daily statistics - and visualized using boxplots.
