Whitlock, C. E., et al., Release 3 NASA Surface Meteorology and
Solar Energy Data Set for Renewable Energy Industry Use.  

Note: If your region is not listed please visit the NASA website where you can search for insolation value for any areas of the world. You will need to obtain a free username and password to gain access. http://aom.giss.nasa.gov/srlocat.html

Following the insolation levels to the strength of the sun's radiation hitting the earth depicts that the sun's solar energy at it's lowest insolation levels in the months of December, January, and February. The Graphs below show the results to the performance of one GSE Series IP-195 Solar Thermal Evacuated Tube Collector generating domestic hot water in the household in January and February. As the sun's insolation levels increase in so does the performance of the IP-195. Performance is relative to insolation level (testing done in Toronto, Canada).
