SolarAnywhere® Accuracy Examined: Independent Validation by Fraunhofer ISE

Learn how understanding solar resource uncertainty can help you reduce PV project risk

Quality solar resource data helps reduce PV project risk and increase the likelihood that performance expectations modeled during the design phase are met over a PV system’s lifetime. But how is “quality” defined? One key factor to consider is the overall uncertainty of the dataset, which can be quantified by comparing satellite-derived data to quality ground-measured meteo data.

In this webinar, you’ll be presented the results of an independent validation report of SolarAnywhere® satellite-derived irradiance data conducted by Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems ISE, a leading solar research institute in Europe. You’ll gain insight into how the validation report was conducted, and examine various aspects of SolarAnywhere performance based on timeframe, climatology and deviation trends.

In this webinar, you’ll learn:
  • The impact solar resource data uncertainty has on overall project uncertainty
  • How uncertainty of satellite-derived datasets is evaluated
  • The results of Fraunhofer ISE’s validation study of SolarAnywhere satellite-derived irradiance data
  • How you can apply solar resource dataset uncertainty to your solar PV projects, no matter the location
This 45-minute webinar will include time for live Q&A with experts from Fraunhofer ISE and Clean Power Research®.
