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, ...

We’ve released a new tool that will allow Solargis users to request time series data for PV systems with trackers. You can choose from 4 types of tracker options: 1-axis horizontal, 1-axis inclined, 1-axis vertical, and 2-axis tracking. It is also possible to specify tracker rotation limits and enable/disable backtracking.

The old GOES-East satellite, also known as GOES-13, was launched to orbit in 2006. The data coverage is North and South Americas.

Just as there are horses for courses, different forecasting techniques are more suitable depending on the intended forecast lead time.

In collaboration with the World Bank Group, today we are releasing new mid-sized maps of 145 countries on Global Solar Atlas.

The meteorological satellite Meteosat-7, which had been providing satellite imagery for the Indian Ocean region has now been decommissioned.

Solargis releases GHI, DNI and PVOUT maps for Google Earth in kmz format.

Precipitable water or ‘PWAT’ in short, is the depth of water in a column of the atmosphere if all the water in that column were precipitated as rain.

We have developed new functionalities of reports that are available now through our climData.

Solargis is proud to announce the launch of the Global Solar Atlas, developed by Solargis as part of the World Bank Group’s ESMAP initiative.

From today onwards, we are also opening access to long-term annual averages of key solar parameters GHI, DIF, and DNI via Solargis iMaps prospecting tool.

In a competitive procurement process, led by the World Bank Group, Solargis has been selected for solar resource assessment and mapping services.
