Solargis Evaluate

Solar and meteo data, PV design & energy yield simulation in one cloud-based solution

Solargis Evaluate is a cloud-based platform that provides a single solution for site assessment, including:

 

• Solar, meteo and enviro data

• 3D Energy System Designer

• PV Components Catalog

• PV energy yield simulation

• Data analysis

• Bankable reports

 

A new era of accuracy and detail in PV simulation

15-min Time Series: the new standard

By default, Solargis Evaluate uses 15-minute Time Series data with up to 30 years of history, covering all relevant meteorological and environmental factors for PV simulation.

This high-frequency data ensures more accurate power output modeling, and allows optimizing component design to address short-term fluctuations as well as long-term trends.

With a full historical dataset, you ensure the system is resilient to shifts in temperature, wind, and extreme weather, while meeting the business model requirements.

 

Ray tracing technology and anisotropic sky model

 

The Solargis PV simulation considers all shading objects present in the physical world model by leveraging detailed geometric information about the scene and precise calculations for each ray.

Apart from shading objects, the PV simulation engine also considers verified PV component specifications, high-resolution terrain, and local solar, weather, and environmental conditions, including ground surface albedo and snow. This approach is particularly important when installing bifacial modules.

Our ray tracing technology simulates with 120x more data values per parameter than hourly TMY and captures the short-term variability in both front and rear-side solar radiation received by PV modules.

 

 

The most advanced 3D Energy System Designer available

 

Define shading objects and restricted areas

You can define different types of objects, such as buildings, trees, hedges, and other physical elements that might affect the solar power plant layout. By using the restricted line tool you can draw the service line and define its width, which allows for the placement of inverters into safe zones.

 

Electrical layout

Our PV design incorporates advanced settings for electrical layout, including inverter setup, intelligent placement of transformers, and defining cabling losses. It lets you manually define factors like cabling, degradation, and environmental losses.

 

 

Energy system validation

The built-in validation tool checks for potential problems like voltage mismatches, incorrect inverter settings, or grid connection issues. This feature helps you identify and fix issues before energy simulation. By ensuring all components work together correctly, the validation process increases system reliability and improves performance.

 

 

PV Components Catalog

 

Solargis Evaluate is integrated with a searchable online catalog of verified PV components from manufacturers all around the globe.

 

Independently verified

Developers can trust that the PV components’ specifications have been verified by the Solargis algorithms and experts as they adhere to a transparent set of verification steps.

 

Didn’t find the component you are looking for?

The PV Components Catalog allows you to import technical parameters of your own components and immediately use them in your PV design in Solargis Evaluate.

 

Component classification

Component classification provides valuable insight into the extent to which the component’s data is comprehensive, accurate, and trustworthy, allowing you to make informed decisions about selecting components for your project.

 

 

Secure project financing using the most reliable source of solar resource data on the market

 

Use the finest data available for building sound financial plans. Solargis Evaluate generates Time Series for the available historical period up to last month, ensuring that you always work with the latest data available.

 

Evaluate 30 years of data through charts and visualizations

 

No need to perform your own data analysis or visualizations in 3rd party tools. With our extensive data analytics section, you will gain access to a collection of various charts and tables providing a great overview of the site’s solar, meteorological, and PV power potential.

Assess PV energy yield potential efficiently through detailed data visualizations providing easy interpretation of interannual variability, monthly, daily, hourly, and sub-hourly views of the data.

 

Generate bankable reports

 

With Solargis Evaluate you can generate consultancy-grade reports for your site, making it easier than ever

to assess PV potential and secure project financing. Solargis Evaluate provides bankable data accepted by banks, investors, and other stakeholders. Our algorithms based on real-world physics, grounded in the latest peer-reviewed scientific research and built on transparent, traceable, and validated models, leave no room for ambiguities in any simulation step.

Our scientific, rigorously documented approach – along with numerous independent validation studies– has earned Solargis its reputation as the most reliable source of solar resource data on the market.
