Ground Tuning Studies
Combine your ground-based measurements with SolarAnywhere irradiance data to reduce the uncertainty of your solar resource assessments and increase project profitability. SolarAnywhere Ground Tuning Studies use an advanced site-adaptation methodology to tune long-term solar resource data to your ground-based measurements.
Accurate
Leverage methodologies developed by Dr. Richard Perez specifically for solar resource assessment, and Clean Power Research solar resource experts.
Bankable
Minimize resource risk and obtain the best terms for project financing with reports that are recognized by all major banks and independent engineers.
Efficient
Take advantage of our efficient process to save time and money on your solar resource assessment workflow. Get a report for your project in 5 business days.*
* Timeline valid when taking advantage of Groundwork partnership. Rush delivery available—please ask.

What does a Tuning Study provide?
Each custom ground tuning study includes a bankable solar resource assessment report that details the solar resource and uncertainty for your project. The service includes solar data files that have been tuned to your ground measurements and that are compatible with all major PV simulation programs.
GroundWork Renewables Partnership
Clean Power Research partners with Groundwork Renewables to provide ground reference solar data for a complete solar resource assessment
GroundWork Renewables offers these core programs:
- Rey Program for Solar Resource Assessment delivers the highest quality measurement data with the lowest field uncertainty
- Rey MET System measures irradiance, soiling and albedo along with ancillary meteorological measurements
- GroundWatch® includes program management, field visits, weekly onsite maintenance, data monitoring and data quality control
- Ground Data Package includes quality controlled data files along with data qualitative availability tables that confirm the bankability of GroundWork datasets
Contact GroundWork Renewables to obtain the highest quality ground solar data.

Record climate disasters, moderate solar deviations through Q3 2020
We’re introducing a major upgrade to our SolarAnywhere® solar deviation maps! The new maps expand coverage to three continents and increase resolution to ~50 km. The maps give asset managers and owners high-level insights into the weather trends affecting the...
What’s the value of your solar data? (And why the median approach to solar resource data selection falls short)
Are the solar industry’s pre-construction production estimates too optimistic? Yes, according to several contributions to the “Solar Risk Assessment: 2020” paper published by kWh Analytics. kWh found evidence of “an industry wide bias towards aggressive predictions,”...
Solar resource trends: Changing cloud-cover and AOD, and implications for PV yield
In recent years, we reported on lower-than-expected solar energy production in the Eastern U.S., corroborating PV plant owner observations using SolarAnywhere® insolation data. This prompted us to ask the questions: How does this recent weather activity compare to...
