Depending on the source and desired application, solar data can have distinctive temporal resolutions, such as sub-hourly (1-, 2-, 5-, 10-, 15-, 30-minute) or hourly intervals. But how are you supposed to know the difference, and why should you care?

One of the key challenges for solar project financiers is to assess the expected energy production and revenue of a project over its lifetime, considering the uncertainties and fluctuations of the solar resource.

To design optimal PV projects, designers must consult 1-minute data which paint the most accurate picture of a plants’ PV power potential and output, while providing increased financial certainty to solar investors.

The study summarizes the results of comparing the data provided by various institutional or commercial providers of solar irradiance models against ground measurements collected at 129 sites distributed globally. It helps solar developers navigate through all the available databases.

An increasing number of solar PV plant developers, operators and owners require high frequency data (1-min) to make qualitative improvements throughout the entire lifecycle of a solar project.

Solargis team has released a new version of Solargis Prospect, a solution that provides quick access to reliable solar yield estimates.

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.

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.
