This paper presents a novel and useful GIS model for evaluation of electric power generation from the solar resource available in a given region, through the creation of a comprehensive geographical database in a Geographic Information System (GIS). A large amount of data from various sources (weather, reflectance, technologies, etc.) are subjected to detailed calculations which lead to the evaluation of specific local characteristics of power generation (during a typical period of time: typical month, typical year) at each point of the region under study. It has been applied to the Spanish region of La Rioja, divided into cells of GIS coverage of 5x5 meters, a resolution never used before (more than 1012 points studied). The model is applicable to any resolution and any area where reliable meteorological and geographical data can be collected. © 2012 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.
