Solargis
A thorough evaluation of solar energy potential is crucial at the pre-feasibility phase of any project. Not only is it necessary to obtain trustworthy results, but the analysis must also be performed in a timely manner. Resources like Solargis's iMaps and pvPlanner provide rapid access to accurate solar yield predictions. The new Prospect tool further improves the accuracy of these forecasts while promoting collaboration throughout the solar project development stages. Among the various sources of solar data, Solargis is distinguished for its exceptional precision and dependability, a claim backed by numerous independent studies. This data has been validated in over 1,000 locations across the globe, with validation statistics for more than 180 accessible non-confidential sites showcased on the validation map. Additionally, while well-known simulation tools like PVsyst offer advanced features for designing systems and modeling energy, it is essential to recognize that the default weather data included may not always be reliable. Consequently, employing validated solar data is critical for maximizing project success, and leveraging such resources can significantly enhance overall project outcomes.
