Abstract
This paper aims at presenting years of solar irradiation data together with meteorological data acquisition localized in the French region of La Réunion Island (SW Indian Ocean). The publicly available data take the form of multivariate time series data with one-minute sampling rate over eight years – with still ongoing acquisition. We also present typical analytics tasks that are related to solar energy application domain as well as general time series analytics tasks that are suitable for these data. Thus, we aim at drawing the attention of the time series data mining community to these valuable data.

A Technical Setup
Data logging - The control system contains the following equipment (see Fig. 6):
Equipment of a control system unit.
-
1 waterproof IP64 enclosure (manufacturer: Legrand), size 400 mm \(\times \) 300 mm \(\times \) 250 mm, in fiberglass or coated metal.
-
1 datalogger CR1000 (manufacturer: Campbell Scientific), a programmable device that handles sensors measurements, drives communication and stores data and programs.
-
1 Ethernet interface NL 115 (manufacturer: Campbell Scientific) with memory module.
-
1 CompactFlash memory card 500 MB
The station may be powered through 230 VCA grid or by renewable energy using solar panel and battery. Communication between station and server may be ensured by a GPRS link (in that case, a modem with a SIM card needs to be added in the local cabinet in connection with the CR1000 logger).
Supporting Structure - Ground-based stations network hosts two types of stations depending of environmental conditions. In EDF power plant sites, a 10-m high foldable mast (see Fig. 7) is used as well as a metallic enclosure.

In other places, a compact and easily transportable station is used (see Fig. 8). In any case, the whole station is designed and fabricated to bear cyclones winds up to 250 km/h.
