Solar Resource Assessment: Master solar success with accurate weather data

The foundation of solar power plant success

A thorough solar resource assessment is essential for the development and success of solar power plants. With it, you can effectively analyze your location's solar potential to ensure the project's financial viability with accurate energy production estimates.

Key factors like location, climate, topography, and shading are analyzed to make informed decisions on project design, financing, and operation.

Accurate solar irradiance and weather data are critical for selecting sites, sizing systems, and optimizing yields, benefiting investors, financial planners, and grid operators alike. The data is important in every phase of solar resource assessment: from preliminary site assessment to resource measurement, data collection and analysis, energy yield assessment, and documentation.

Continuous on-site monitoring of meteorological data ensures data integrity, even when the solar power plant is operational, and plays a key role in optimizing plant performance.
