Data generated by evaluating the seasonal variability and trend analysis of the solar energy resource in the Northeastern Brazilian region
The solar radiation is the primary energy resource for several human activities. Nowadays, the environmental issues and climate concerning are boosting the substitution of fossil fuel resources by renewable energy resources, including the adoption of solar energy for power generation. Although the s...
