Enable datasets: NSRDB and Solcast
Enable the use of NSRDB and Solcast datasets for cutout creation.
Detailed Description
- The PSM (Physical Solar Model) from NSRDB is expanding to near global coverage, see: https://nsrdb.nrel.gov/ .
- Alternatively the commercial Solcast dataset might be of interest, see https://solcast.com , which offers free public researcher credits (https://solcast.com/solar-data-api/free-solar-radiation-historical-and-forecasting-data-for-researchers/)
Context
SARAH and ERA5 have some shortcomings in term of technologies used/parameters considered/spatial resolution/temporal resolution. These shortcoming may be compensated by these datasets.
