forecasting

Data collection and analysis in solar PV installations is increasingly sophisticated, particularly relating to grid interaction and weather forecasting.

DNV has forecast that the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region will add 860GW of new solar PV by 2040.

PV Talk: Jon Previtali of VDE Americas explains the hard science behind managing hail risk, one of the costliest sources of damage to PV projects.

Ben Moore reports on RESPONDENT, a European-funded project that uses space technologies to help integrate renewable energy into the grid.

Solar PV growth is expected to slow down in Brazil and Chile due to ongoing issues of curtailment and transmission infrastructure.

PV modelling relies on the assumption of 99% availability for forecasting, but the adoption of a more realistic metric would improve finances.

ARENA has committed over AUS$3.2 million in funding to PV Lighthouse and Built Robotics Australia to help develop ultra-low-cost solar.

As the unexpected happens, accurate forecasting becomes a vital tool to sustain grid operations, writes Tigo Energy's Evgeny Finkel.

Hailstorms have hit the 350MW Fighting Jays solar project, raising questions about the solar industry’s ability to respond to extreme weather.

Energy risk management company and assurance provider DNV has acquired Australian solar data specialist Solcast to strengthen its solar forecasting services.
