Evaluation of global horizontal irradiance estimates from ERA5 and COSMO-REA6 reanalyses using ground and satellite-based data

•ERA5 and COSMO-REA6 reduce the quality gap between reanalysis and satellite data.•ERA5 bias is similar to that of satellite data for inland regions with few clouds.•COSMO-REA6 is comparable to ERA5 for North and Central Europe.•The absolute error of reanalyses is large due to a deficient cloud pred...
