The launch of GOES-R (operated by NASA and NOAA) has given solar modelers a great opportunity to use higher-quality satellite imagery. As an outcome, they can now achieve higher-quality solar irradiance data.

Solargis’ satellite-based solar data and PV simulations support Shift Energy Japan in their bid to finance and roll out distributed solar energy projects across Asia

Two years ago, Storm Uri unleashed a deep freeze over Texas, causing widespread power outages that affected more than 4.5 million people. The drastic changes in temperature during the storm not only reduced natural gas production and froze wind turbines across the State, but also had widespread impacts on solar plants.

Singapore branch led by newly appointed CEO of Solargis APAC, Michal Strba, who brings over two decades of experience in the region
Strba and his team will support new and existing clients in one of the world’s most complex environments for PV power generation

Solargis 2022 Global Solar Performance study indicates significant variability in Global Horizontal Irradiation (GHI) and temperature in key investment areas

As Iberdrola plans to reach an installed renewable capacity of 95 GW by 2030, and is uniquely positioned with a renewables pipeline of 81.5 GW (36.6 GW in Solar PV), the company sought out Solargis’ latest software – Solargis Analyst – to provide accurate, pre-construction solar data analyses and ensure its procedures were harmonised across the global business.

Storing and dispatching power at the optimal time requires an extremely granular understanding of how much power a project is generating both now and in the immediate future. Developers, operators, and owners increasingly require high-frequency (1-minute) weather and solar irradiance data that enables them to make quick, accurate and financially effective decisions.

As solar projects grow in size and number, the challenges of integrating them successfully into national grids increase as well. The intermittency of solar energy requires careful management, and solar developers that under- or over-produce face curtailment and penalties from grid operators.

High-resolution meteorological data crucial as Indian demand continues to increase for Commercial & Industrial solar projects.

We spoke to Solargis’ CEO Marcel Suri to learn how Solargis Analyst simplifies and standardises data analysis to foster a culture of high-quality resource data in the solar sector, and why it is so important for solar decision makers to be able to trust the data underpinning their growth strategies.

For the first time since 2019, Solargis is updating the subscriptions, data usage, and the pricing policy for two products: the Prospect online application and Evaluate data service. The changes were decided in response to the solar industry’s project development needs, the value we provide, as well as to the unfortunate global economic situation wherein inflation is significantly impacting our business. The new pricing can be seen on our web pages.

March 2022 saw Spain suffer its biggest solar irradiance decline in 28 years. By contrast, Germany and the Balkans saw 45% higher levels of solar irradiance. These anomalies highlight need to invest in effective interconnections and forecasting to support European energy independence.
