Demand for firm power driving innovation in solar forecasting

Patrick Keelin & Agata Swierc | Sep 16, 2019

Since 2014, compelling economics have made renewable energy the preferred source of new power generation capacity in the United States. Energy cost parity with traditional sources has been well-established by the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) and other...

What U.S. PV plant owners have seen in 2018/2019 is real: sunshine has been scarce

Patrick Keelin | Jul 30, 2019

What it means to PV plant owners and developers For many solar PV plant owners in the U.S., solar energy production in the last year or two has fallen well below expectations. We’ve heard this again and again recently. Maybe you’ve heard the same thing. What’s causing...

Thanks to our subscribers, partners and hard-working development team, SolarAnywhere® has become the most trusted and vetted solar resource dataset available. In 2017 alone, the SolarAnywhere team: Topped an EPRI study for forecasting Spotted a calibration issue at...

The future of solar forecasting with the new GOES-16 satellite

Patrick Keelin | Feb 8, 2018

The SolarAnywhere® team transforms satellite images into industry-leading solar irradiance data. We make algorithms, not satellites, so when NOAA/NASA upgrades the hardware, we take notice of the possibilities—and get to work. On January 2, 2018 we made a seamless...

Evidence of satellite-truth when comparing to ground irradiance measurements

Richard Perez | Aug 1, 2017

Troubleshooting ground measurements with satellite irradiance data We recently reported how the use of SolarAnywhere® Data made it possible for us to detect an unreported irradiance sensor calibration issue at one of the nation’s most trusted reference stations: the...
