NREL's Measurement and Instrumentation Data Center
The Measurement and Instrumentation Data Center (MIDC) provides irradiance and meteorological data from a network of ground stations in the U.S. It serves as a central location for accessing solar and weather data collected from various sites, including the prominent NREL Solar Radiation Research Laboratory (SRRL) Baseline Measurement System (BMS). The MIDC offers data and tools to support the analysis and development of advanced energy technologies and the broader energy community.
