Evaluate various power plant configurations

Evaluate various power plant configurations

Solar power plants need to adapt to complex local environmental and terrain conditions. 

Site designs and structures must be configured not only to make the most of the solar resource, but also to account for surrounding objects and infrastructure – such as roads, hills, buildings and the electrical grid.

Solargis data and software give you the necessary insights to evaluate the options and determine the best possible setup for your plant.

Tackle the specific challenges of bifacial & floating designs

Tackle the specific challenges of bifacial & floating designs

Bifacial PV modules require new computational concepts based on location-specific high-resolution albedo data. 

Meanwhile, floating PV power plants come with new challenges such as wave impact and microclimate conditions above the water surface, including vapor, humidity, fog, temperature, and wind.

You can address all these challenges with Solargis simulations.

Take local extremes into account

Take local extremes into account

A solar power plant is a long-term project for 30+ years. To ensure its efficient operation over such a long period, you need to consider potential long-term risks, even if they occur infrequently.

Solargis simulations can help you design a resilient project – by studying risks and local extreme weather conditions such as the lowest air temperatures, soiling, hail, snowfall, wind gusts, and others.

Growing Pain #1: Maximising efficiency and minimising risk in large-scale project design

Ten years ago, an average solar PV project was a relatively simple affair, comprising 10MW of fixed, monofacial modules. The market has moved on a long way since then. Now, typical solar farms approach 100MW in size and may use a range of technologies such as bifacial, intelligent tracking and floating modules, creating new possibilities for more efficient energy production.
