Abstract
Current GIS software offer tools to perform the solar irradiance calculations. However, these computations based their work on data assumptions or generalisations to speed up their processing time. In this work, a method is shown to perform the calculation using very high and very low spatial resolution open datasets. The results show that there too detailed raster data like 50cm horizontal spatial resolution DSM does not improve the calculations compared to lower resolution datasets.
