Technical details: The user through the fully dynamical interface is able to navigate, zoom and click at any pixel of the 1.5 million matrix (the spatial resolution is 3 km at nadir) retrieving solar energy potential information for 3 hours ahead and 3 hours back time...
This real-time service is based on the Solar Energy Nowcasting SystEm (SENSE) which was designed, developed and applied in the framework of the EU-funded projects BEYOND, GEO-CRADLE and E-SHAPE. ...
This service has been implemented in the framework of Solar Energy Nowcasting SystEm (SENSE) pilot of the GEO-CRADLE project. The initial solar radiation database was retrieved by the EUMETSAT’s CM SAF for the regions of Greece, Egypt and Cyprus. ...
This website was developed in the framework of the GEO-CRADLE project under the grant agreement No 690133 (HORIZON 2020). The objective of this website is the operational application of the Solar Energy Nowcasting SystEm for the Egyptian Ministry of Electricity and Renewable Energy together...
The mean monthly solar energy maps of Greece are based on a 15-year climatology of the Direct Normal and Global Horizontal Irradiances (DNI and GHI respectively), while the spatial resolution is almost 5 km. The climatological radiation data are from the EUMETSAT’s Satellite Application Facility...

We established closer collaboration and extension of cooperation with the New and Renewable Energy Authority of Egypt (NREA) and the Ministry of Electricity and Renewable Energy by developing a common website running on the official ministry website, in which we disseminate the real-time and climatological...
In the framework of TREASURE project, SOLEA developed a UV-index algorithm (for the technical background click here and here) in support to the provided nowcasting services. For more information about TREASURE visit the official website. ...
Development of an analytical business plan for establishment, operation and exploitation of a solar farm in Aswan (Egypt) in support to the Magdi Yacoub Heart Foundation. This work was implemented in collaboration with Evenflow. https://youtu.be/frC1D-XRgLQ...
This pilot work aims to support the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens (NKUA) in order to present results of the computational system developed for estimating Biogenic Volatile Organic Compounds (BVOCs) emissions based on GIS technology over Greece. It covers the year 2016 and has...
