3 FAQs about [Malawi climate solar solutions]
Does Solargis model work in Malawi?
Solargis model is based on the use of the best available algorithms and input data, and it has been calibrated and validated for all geographies. Therefore, the model has robust and uniform behaviour in all conditions. Validation sites in Malawi show consistent bias within the expected range, except for the Mzuzu station.
Does spatial interpolation extend the validity of solar meteorological correction factors?
Applying the spatial interpolation, we extended the validity of the correction factors identified at the solar meteorological stations to the entire territory of Malawi and neighbouring areas. To maintain the stability of model in a wider regional context, also effect of corrections from neighbouring regions (Zambia) was introduced.
What is the mean bias of adapted GHI & DNI values in Malawi?
As a result, at the level of individual sites in Malawi, the mean bias of the adapted GHI and DNI values stays below 1.0% for Chileka and Kasungu stations. For Mzuzu station it is slightly higher: 1.8% and 3.5% for DNI and GHI, respectively.
