Abstract
The solar energy resources in Central Asia are assessed. Sources of actinometric information—the results of long-term ground-based measurements and mathematical simulation—are analyzed. Actinometric data of the publicly accessible NASA SSE global climate information database for this region is verified and its correspondence to the task was proved. The methods used to assess the gross and technical potential of solar energy are described briefly, and the results of calculations for Uzbekistan and Kyrgyzstan are provided.
