An updated database holds solar and meteorological data for 1,454 locations in the United States and its territories (1991-2010). The current version of the NSRDB was developed using the Physical Solar Model, and offers users the latest available data (1998-2014). NSRDB comprises 30-minute solar and meteorological data for approximately 2 million (nominally 4 km2) surface pixels.
