[RE-wrenches] Irradiance data

[Nick Soleil]

Aloha Folks:
    NREL had a book list order form years ago (which you could download online), and you could check any of the books you wanted, and they would send them to you for free!  This irradiance data book was one of the free books I got at the time, plus others on BIPV and other topics.  I actually ordered multiple sets of these for friends and co-workers.
     I don't know if that deal is still around.  The same irradiance data has been published in Ed Mazaria's 'Passive Solar Energy Book.'  From the 70s.

David - Thanks!  This is great as an average for comparison.  Any thoughts on where I could get data specifically from 2009 or the last couple of months?

"Don't get me wrong: I love nuclear energy! It's just that I prefer fusion to fission. And it just so happens that there's an enormous fusion reactor safely banked a few million miles from us. It delivers more than we could ever use in just about 8 minutes. And it's wireless!"
