Solar Keymark collector database and hourly yield model for eleven hot-climate sites in the Middle East and North Africa
Year: 2026
Type: dataset
Abstract: This dataset supports the article "Solar collector certification for hot climates: a critical review and an analysis of 46 Solar Keymark collectors at eleven sites in the Middle East and North Africa" (M. Elmnefi, submitted to Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews). This dataset supports the article "Solar collector certification for hot climates: a critical review and an analysis of 46 Solar Keymark collectors at eleven sites in the Middle East and North Africa" (M. Elmnefi, submitted to Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews). It contains (1) a database of 88 Solar Keymark certificates (62 independent tests) with ISO 9806 collector parameters, incidence-angle modifier tables, stagnation temperatures and certified gross thermal yields; (2) a results workbook with all results reported in the article, including model validation, rank correlations at eleven hot sites, the equivalent-temperature rule, stagnation exposure, a domestic hot water check, sensitivity analyses, bootstrap intervals and a Monte Carlo analysis of parameter uncertainty; (3) the hourly ISO 9806 yield model in Python; and (4) the PVGIS 5.3 typical meteorological year files (SARAH-3, 2005-2023) used for all sites. Certificate data originate from the public Solar Keymark database (https://solarkeymark.eu/database/); weather data from PVGIS, European Commission Joint Research Centre (https://re.jrc.ec.europa.eu/pvg_tools/).
