March 2022 saw Spain suffer its biggest solar irradiance decline in 28 years. By contrast, Germany and the Balkans saw 45% higher levels of solar irradiance. These anomalies highlight need to invest in effective interconnections and forecasting to support European energy independence.

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.

We spoke with Jozef Dudzak, Data Scientist, and Marketa Jansova PhD, Data Applications Team Leader, about the role of a Solar Data Specialist – and how the Solargis Analyst software transforms complex resource analysis in the solar sector.

A ten-year analysis of solar irradiance released by Solargis has illustrated the impacts of significant resource variability on several key global solar markets including India, Australia and North America.

Solargis, the trusted reference point for solar data and software services, has announced the launch of the first software platform designed specifically for visualisation, quality management and analysis of solar data.

Designing and operating a large-scale solar project without fully understanding its potential output inevitably increases risks throughout its lifecycle. One part of the solution for developers is validated solar resource data calculated through satellite-based models, helping produce accurate energy yield calculations.

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.

Photovoltaic (PV) power market is doubling every 3 years. To be fully competitive in energy markets, PV industry has to reduce costs and make the variable power more
predictable and matching with demand.

Increased global data demand across the Americas, Europe and Southeast Asia shows maturity of the solar market, as Solargis surpasses 45GW monitoring and forecasting milestone.

Recently, we have enlarged the collection of solar resource maps with the maps at continental scales, covering Africa, Asia, Australia and Oceania, Europe, Middle East, North America and South America.

Solargis expands its presence in Toronto in response to demand from the North American solar industry as it scales up and faces new resource-related risks to profitability.

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
