This web mapping application gives estimates of photovoltaic potential (in kWh/kWp) and of the mean daily global insolation (in MJ/m 2 and in kWh/m 2) for any location in Canada on a 60 arc seconds ~2 km grid. . Previous research has assessed the potential of solar energy against possible demand; however, the sustainability issues associated with the use of large-scale photovoltaic deployment in urban areas have not been jointly established. What's new? Welcome to the Global Solar Atlas. Start exploring solar potential by clicking on the map. Calculate energy production for selected sites. The photovoltaic (PV) potential represents the expected lifetime average electricity. . According to the United Nation Dept.
