NASA POWER (Prediction Of Worldwide Energy Resources) — global solar, wind, and meteorological resource data for renewable-energy siting. Satellite + reanalysis climate data via point (lat/lon) queries. Long-term climatology (monthly + annual averages — the siting workhorse), plus daily and monthly time series. 152 RE-community parameters; defaults cover solar GHI/DNI/clear-sky, wind at 50 m and 10 m, and temperature.
