The station has been installed and commissioned on the roof of the central office at Quaid-e-Azam Solar Park (QASP) in Bahawalpur, Punjab Province, Pakistan (29.325°N, 71.819°E). The station is fully operational and taking the measurement values listed in the sec- tion below. It is equipped with a Solys2 Tracker with a CHP1 pyrheliometer and two ventilated CMP21 pyranometers for global and diffuse irradiation measurement (all manufactured by Kipp&Zonen), a Campbell Scientific CR1000 data logger, tempera- ture and relative humidity sensor and barometric pressure sensor. A wind tower is installed at the station. The wind speed and wind direction sensors (manufactured by NRG) are on a total height of 10 m above the roof top. All sensors are integrated into the Tier1 meteorological data acquisition system. Power supply is provided by QASP. It consists of a 230 VAC surge-protected main power grid connection. The measurement system includes a UPS and batteries for continuing operation of at least 24 h in case of main power failure. Station maintenance will be done by local staff of QASP operating company. The local personnel have been briefed on how the maintenance has to be done. The main task is to clean all three irradiance sensors on a daily basis. Upon request, further tasks as checking the levelling of the sensors, stability of the equipment, etc. might be carried out. Regular inspection and maintenance visits will be per- formed on a six-monthly interval by the company PITCO, local partner of the ES- MAP solar vendor consortium. Calibration certificates for the installed sensors will be handed over to Alternative Energy Development Board of Pakistan (AEDB) and World Bank (WB) together with the station documentation and manual. Data retrieval will be done by CSPS via GPRS data transmission on a daily schedule, starting with the first day after installation; data will be provided to AEDB, WB and approved stakeholders on a daily basis by email in Excel format as well as on a data publication platform provided by WB.
