Dear users, SoDa website is being modified to allow you to access the services more easily. Do not hesitate to contact us if you are looking for a product or web service that has been moved.

SoDa delivers solar radiation and meteorological data services for solar photovoltaic and thermal site prospection and electricity production monitoring and forecasting.

SoDa also provides spectral radiation services for agriculture and health domains.

It is an access to many meteorological, altitude, astronomy, atmosphere and typical years services.

SoDa contributes to the creation of solar atlases and solar cadasters.

HelioClim-3 solar radiation database

  • Direct, diffuse, reflected and global solar radiation

  • Radiation components at normal, tilted and horizontal planes

  • From Feb. 2004 up to tomorrow

  • From 1 min to 1 month

  • From Meteosat-11 satellite images (3 km resolution)

  • Take into account the shadowing effect due to far horizon
