The station has been installed and commis- sioned on the roof of a campus building at the M. Nawaz Sharif University of Engi- neering and Technology (MNS UET) in Multan, Pakistan (30.165°N, 71.498°E). The Tier2 station is equipped with a CSPS Twin-sensor Rotating Shadowband Irra- diometer (RSI), a Kipp&Zonen CMP10 pyranometer for redundant GHI measure- ment, a Campbell Scientific CR1000 data logger, CS215 temperature and relative humidity probe, CS100 barometric pressure sensor, NRG #40C anemometer and NRG #200P wind direction sensor on a wind mast of 10 m height above the roof top. All sensors are integrated into the Tier2 meteorological data acquisition system. Power supply is provided by a solar panel and battery, designed for fully autono- mous operation. Station maintenance will be done by local staff of MNS UET. The local personnel have been briefed on how the maintenance has to be done. The main task is to clean the irradiance sensors on a weekly basis. Upon request, further tasks as checking the levelling of the sensors, stability of the equipment, etc. might be car- ried out. Regular inspection and maintenance visits will be performed on a six- monthly interval by the company PITCO, local partner of the ESMAP solar vendor consortium. Calibration certificates for the installed sensors will be handed over to AEDB and World Bank 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.
