The Solargis Analyst software not only helps solar data specialists be more productive. It unlocks the power of solar data for those without analytical training.
We caught up with Harsh Goenka, Business Development Manager, to discuss why the solar industry needs to make insights from data more accessible, and how Solargis Analyst supports him to deliver value for Solargis’ customers more efficiently.

A key goal of the Growing Pains series is to highlight the role that reliable solar resource data plays in ensuring the success of large-scale solar projects.

As solar farms become increasingly complex, de-risking bifacial projects by reducing the uncertainty around albedo will be crucial. We sat down with Vicente Lara-Fanego
PhD, Weather and Solar Modelling Expert, and Harsh Goenka, Business Development Manager, to discuss Solargis’ new two-part report on this little understood data source

Solar power’s star is rising resolutely, as lower costs of production open up new markets around the world and solar projects scale up, rapidly. In the last two decades, the size of solar installations has increased dramatically, and we are witnessing the rise of ‘megaprojects’.

One of first steps in the development of solar energy projects is a pre-feasibility study. A key requirement is to make decisions on basis of reliable data, with limited time and resources.

We’ve released a new tool that will allow Solargis users to request time series data for PV systems with trackers. You can choose from 4 types of tracker options: 1-axis horizontal, 1-axis inclined, 1-axis vertical, and 2-axis tracking. It is also possible to specify tracker rotation limits and enable/disable backtracking.

Just as there are horses for courses, different forecasting techniques are more suitable depending on the intended forecast lead time.

The meteorological satellite Meteosat-7, which had been providing satellite imagery for the Indian Ocean region has now been decommissioned.

Precipitable water or ‘PWAT’ in short, is the depth of water in a column of the atmosphere if all the water in that column were precipitated as rain.
