The chapters discuss the availability of new primary data, basic concepts of research trends and approaches developed for providing value-added products in an operational mode. Based on the experience from commercial and aid-providing sphere, the barriers and solutions for overcoming them are identified. The integrated solutions based on exploiting geographical information systems outline directions for map-based decision-making and management of distributed energy systems. The final contributions point out that the recent developments gave an impetus for complementing the traditional applications of Earth-observation data by renewable energy programs. }, title = {Solar Energy Resource Management for Electricity Generation from Local Level to Global Scale }, url = {https://www.novapublishers.com/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=4139}, volume = {}, number = {}, issn = {}, publisher = {Nova Science Publishers}, doi = {}
