Grid planning and operations for utilities
Solar Resource Assessment
High-quality solar irradiance data is critical to solar resource assessment

Without accurate and proven solar irradiance data, solar resource assessments can pose significant risk to a solar project’s bankability and future financial performance.

Grid planning and operations for utilities
Solar Asset Performance Monitoring & Assessment
To optimize O&M budgets, solar asset managers need to reduce costs and increase efficiency

Similarly, investors need scalable approaches to accurate solar asset monitoring to maximize return on investment.

Grid planning and operations for utilities
Solar Forecasting
Forecasting reduces the uncertainty solar power has on traditional power system operations

The accuracy of long-term solar resource forecasts, and the accuracy of variable short-term power generation by utilities, are now at the forefront of considerations by the commercial solar industry.

Grid planning and operations for utilities
Grid Planning & Operations
Accurate load estimation is critical for utilities to safely and reliably make use of distributed generation

Highly granular solar irradiance and PV production data are important for utilities seeking to make long-term projections or real-time predictions to support grid planning and operations.

The difference between SolarAnywhere® and that of a professionally installed and calibrated MET station was calculated to be equal to or less than the measurement accuracy of the weather stations. Combine this accuracy with the increased reliability that SystemCheck offers, and you have an O&M solution that costs less and saves valuable personnel resources.
