Best Practices for Solar Assessment

Please complete the form to download >>

Did you know?

  • Year-to-year solar variability—though often dismissed—is significant.
  • Beyond 25 km of a reliable surface station, satellite data is the most accurate source of irradiance estimates.
  • TMY data can be used for preliminary site evaluation, but should NEVER be used for financing or due diligence.
  • It takes up to 15 years of surface measurements to be within +/-5% of the long-term average solar resource value depending on your technology.
  • Integrating short-term site observations with long-term satellite data provides the most accurate resource assessment for securing project financing.
