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.<br> 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.'

It includes information on TMY (typical meteorological year) data, like that published by NREL here:<br>

Is anyone aware of a resource for finding local historical irradiance data? We've had a cloudy winter around the DC Metro area and I would like to quantify how far down we are from the average for new customers concerned with production.<br>
<br>
<br>
Thanks in advance,<br>
