Solar Map of Uruguay v1.0 (May 2009): In 2008, with the support of the Energy Efficiency Project (DNE/MIEM), the Faculty of Engineering carried out the first survey of the solar resource on a national scale. As a result of this effort, in 2009 the first version of the Solar Map of Uruguay (MSUv1) was published.

The Solar Map is not something static, but must be considered as an incremental process aimed at a continuous improvement in the knowledge of solar resources in Uruguay. A second version of the Solar Map was released in 2017, based on ground measurements and GOES-East satellite images.
