International Solar Alliance chose Solargis maps to present world's solar resource during the opening ceremony at COP21

COP 21 has just taken place. A highlight for the solar industry was the launch of the International Solar Energy Alliance. Straightforward messages and ambitious goals towards solar energy development were presented by India's prime minister Modi and French president Hollande.

We were delighted to note that Solargis world map was used as a backdrop throughout the launch event. In recognition of the popularity of the Solargis maps, we have just released updated versions of world GHI and DNI maps, now completely covering the land between latitudes 60°N and 60°S.
