To assess the solar resource or energy yield potential of a site, we model the solar resource/energy yield using best available information and methods. The resulting estimate is the P50 estimate, or in other words, the “best estimate”. P50 is essentially a statistical level of confidence suggesting that we expect to exceed the predicted solar resource/energy yield 50% of the time. However, ...
The process of estimating solar radiation data uncertainty can be sometimes unclear. We've tried to summarise in 4 simple steps.
Just as there are horses for courses, different forecasting techniques are more suitable depending on the intended forecast lead time.
In collaboration with our partners, GeoSUN Africa and Suntrace, we have recently installed a total of 10 solar measuring stations across Zambia and Maldives.
Accurate solar resource data is needed for planning, engineering and financing of a solar energy project.
It is widely accepted that high-standard pyranometers operated under rigorously controlled conditions are to be used for bankable performance assessment of photovoltaic (PV) power systems.
