Abstract
The identification of solar potentials in remote areas represents an opportunity to provide renewable energy solutions to population isolated from the main electric grid. For this, a methodology to estimate the solar irradiation is proposed, taking into account free satellite images from Landsat 7 and MODIS projects. The method includes the image processing and regression models to obtain high resolution solar irradiance maps. To prove the application of the methodology, the process is performed over a zone in Southwest Colombia and the resulting maps are presented in a website with georeferencing tools.
