<p>NOAA has solar radiation data for 1991-2010 <a href="http://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/data-access/land-based-station-data/land-based-datasets/solar-radiation" rel="noreferrer">http://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/data-access/land-based-station-data/land-based-datasets/solar-radiation</a> But I need data for Nov 1 2012-present! Is this data available?</p>

<p>Will I have to generate it myself? I have the software to do it, it is just a time/processor consuming task.</p>
