PVGIS: a free online solar photovoltaic calculator tool to optimise light harvesting in viticulture

R. Zorer et al.; Fondazione Edmund Mach (FEM), Italy; Dept. of Viticulture, ARC Infruitec-Nietvoorbij, Stellenbosch, South Africa

The Photovoltaic Geographical Information System (PVGIS ©European Communities, 2001–2017) had been developed from solar radiation data estimated from satellite using the Satellite Application Facility on Climate Monitoring (CM SAF) models and representing the period 1996-2011.

The article shows examples of estimations for two locations, i.e. San Michele all'Adige, North Italy, and Stellenbosch, South Africa.

Article based on the poster presented at the at the 10th edition of Enoforum (May 16th-18th, 2017, Vicenza, Italy)
