Dataset on PV Production in Snow Covered Mountains

Overview The SUNWELL Modelling Environment is a combination of data and code that models electricity production from satellite-derived irradiance data and other spatial data sets for all of Switzerland. This ensemble accompanies the publication "The bright side of PV production in snow-covered mountains", published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Science and reproduces all results and figures of. Code and resources are in their original form (with documentation). A new version with a more generalized application to PV modelling and with more flexibility in terms of input and output formats will be released in the coming months. Format All code is written and has to be executed in Matlab. The input and output data sets are also in the Matlab-specific .mat format. Whenever publicly available, the original data is provided as geotif, .xlsx or other common format. This is the case for: - Digital Elevation Model (InputsFromMatlab/MSG/OriginalData/ASTERDEM), - Landsurface cover type (InputsFromMatlab/MSG/OriginalData/CORINE), - Population Density (InputsFromMatlab/MSG/OriginalData/popdensRaster, - Electricity production from three of our validation sites (/Validation/W
