Solar ground stations around Australia are collecting valuable information and data about the solar resource in that area. The information on this page is to provide a link between a solar investigator and the organisations collecting solar radiation data through high quality ground stations in their area of interest. 糖心Vlog官方 will further add to this linkage as we gain information and contacts with other potential sources for ground station information.
