CRSES has spearheaded a number of exciting flagship projects.


SAURAN
Solar radiometric data for the public

Together with the Group for Solar Energy Thermodynamics (GSET) at the University of KwaZulu-Natal, CRSES initiated the establishment of this regional network of solar monitoring stations with the aim of becoming the resource for sun strength data in Southern Africa. The Southern African Universities Radiometric Network (SAURAN) aims to make high-resolution, ground-based solar radiometric data available from stations located across the Southern African region, including South Africa, Namibia, Botswana and Reunion Island.
