6 Frequently Asked Questions about “Solar energy sites”

What is the major solar projects list?

The Major Solar Projects List is a database of all ground-mounted solar projects, 1 MW and above, that are either operating, under construction or under development. The list is for informational purposes only, reflecting projects and completed milestones in the public domain.

Where can I find a list of major solar project data?

SEIA makes major solar project data available to the public through the map below. SEIA members have exclusive access to the list as a sortable, searchable MS Excel file that is updated monthly.

Do we have a global dataset of solar power sites?

For the first time, we have access to a globally open dataset of solar power sites worldwide. Four researchers from the University of Southampton published a report in the Nature journal and have worked on the 'Harmonised global datasets of wind and solar farm locations and power' article.

How many solar projects are there?

There are more than 7,900 major solar projects currently in the database, representing over 322 GWdc of capacity. There are over 1,200 major energy storage projects currently in the database, representing more than 80,000 MWh of capacity. The list shows that there are more than 169 GWdc of major solar projects currently operating.

How do I choose a solar project?

Get an in-depth analysis of those with the best solar potential. Pick the most promising ones. With so many opportunities for solar projects all over the globe, making the right choice about a site is getting harder. Having the right information about potential sites, in real-time, gives you the flexibility to react quickly to offers and requests.

How does Solargis support the solar sector?

Solargis releases GHI, DNI and PVOUT maps for Google Earth in kmz format. At Solargis, we have supported a decade of growth in the solar sector – and continue to support it through its transition into a new phase of post-subsidy development and operation. Reducing risk in this changing landscape requires a focus on efficiency.
