Abstract: Solar power as an alternative energy source in Hawai'i has grown in recent years [1], with increasing amounts of photovoltaic panels found statewide. Power resource management and grid stability require that the variability in irradiance, hence, solar power coming into the electric grid be understood. The aim of this study is to produce an irradiance dataset for Oahu, Hawai'i, containing temporal and spatial variability, so it can be used in modeling power generation.
