How El Niño can help PV asset managers reduce month-ahead irradiance forecast risk
Research into slowly evolving climate patterns may be the key to bridging an important forecasting gap. The missing month Solar forecasting has become remarkably good—provided the forecast is either for the immediate future or for the long term. Modern numerical...

Clean Power Research® is excited to announce the launch of 5-minute, 500-meter real-time solar data for SolarAnywhere® SystemCheck® users across the continental U.S. (CONUS), Hawaii, Mexico and the Caribbean. With this high-resolution data, PV performance engineers...
Beyond TMY: Unlocking solar potential in Northern regions with high latitude time-series data
As solar development expands into higher latitudes—from Alaska to the Nordics—the need for accurate, high-resolution solar resource data becomes increasingly critical. These regions experience extreme seasonal variation in daylight hours, making precise modeling...
Reducing uncertainty with observational MET programs
This week, we're pleased to present a guest post from GroundWork® Renewables' Director of Data and Analytics Julie Chard. At GroundWork, we’re committed to delivering high-quality solar-meteorological (MET) data to reduce uncertainty in solar resource assessments....
The new SolarAnywhere® Probabilistic Forecast enhances risk management
PV forecasts are important for energy scheduling and grid stability. Traditional methods for near-term forecasts involve blending an ensemble of Numerical Weather Predictions (NWPs) into a single deterministic output, which is favored because it is simple to implement...
