Dataset

PV production data with ancillary PV and meteorological data including solar radiation measurements from FMI's open-air solar laboratories in Helsinki, Kuopio and Sodankylä (Finland) starting from August 2015 and ending Dec 2021

  • 1. Finnish Meteorological Institute

Description

The data is described in Karhu et al. (2025) (to be submitted to Geoscience Data Journal).

The data files (*.csv) are PV system specific i.e. each data file contains all meteorological ancillary-PV and PV production data from one of the four different systems specifically. Each data file has a header explaining the variables (separated with ';'). The variables are somewhat different from site to site.

In addition to the data files there is a compressed tar archive containing hourly taken photographic images of the modules of the FMI's open-air solar laboratory in Sodankylä:
