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

The difference between SolarAnywhere® and that of a professionally installed and calibrated MET station was calculated to be equal to or less than the measurement accuracy of the weather stations. Combine this accuracy with the increased reliability that SystemCheck offers, and you have an O&M solution that costs less and saves valuable personnel resources.
