University of Nevada, Las Vegas Renewable Energy Center (UNLV-REC) currently monitors three meteorological stations in southern Nevada under the direction of the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) and is funded by the Nevada Southwest Energy Partnership (NSWEP). The three station locations are Eldorado Valley, UNLV-REC Solar Site, and Nevada Power Company Clark Station. The installation dates for each of the locations were October of 2004 for Eldorado Valley station, August of 2003 for the UNLV-REC Solar Site, and March of 2006 for the Nevada Power Clark Station. Publicly available data from each site have been archived since installation completion. This paper discusses the installation of the equipment for each site and images of the setup. The data that is being collected between the sites is also compared. Data comparisons between the sites include net monthly solar energy; monthly peak direct normal irradiance (DNI), average daily wind speed, monthly wind roses, and average monthly dry bulb temperatures. The recently measured data is also compared to resource maps developed by NREL and to TMY data. With these meteorological resources, microclimatic variations can be studied for the area and used as a renewable energy resource for renewable installations in southern Nevada.
