Finding insolation levels

Return to page about solar energy system design
It is possible to find the insolation levels of anywhere in the world on many websites. Here are some links

Nasa If you put your latitude and longitude into the form it will output the insolation levels for your area. You can get your latitude and longitude using google Earth. This site is often down.

Solar Irradiance calculator Calculates insolation levels all over the world.
