Solar energy

Solar energy forecasting to manage intermittency of solar power plants.

StormGeo provides highly accurate weather forecasting solutions and historical data to help you predict, plan and prepare for either adverse weather or solar project return on investment. Our accurate short-term forecasts help TSO’s maximize security of supply of energy.

Key benefits

Accurate forecast and satellite imagery

Accurate forecasts for any location in the world, updated every 10-15 minutes, based on satellites, PV output data and weather models. New third generation geostationary satellite imagery integrated with dynamical weather model information to detect and track clouds.

Risk management

StormGeo provides lightning, hail, dust and strong winds forecasts and alerts to operators and project owners within the solar energy segment. Our weather forecasting solutions help you predict, plan and prepare for adverse weather — mitigating downtime and suboptimal production.

Site assessment

Whether you are evaluating large-scale solar power production or a rooftop installation for your facility, StormGeo provides insight into whether your solar project is going to have the desired return on investment.

Warnings and alerts

Monitor assets against all types of weather hazards, including lightning, and wind and rain, with color-coded proximity and parameter-based alerts.
