This article introduces the basics on how Solcast creates its solar irradiance data including how it uses satellite images and solar radiation models.

Introducing Super-Rapid Update Forecasting for Solar Farms

How Solcast is using sky cameras and live SCADA information to improve short range solar power forecasting and solar irradiance forecasting

Behind the meter solar power forecasting and PV fleet visibility

As soon as penetrations of behind the meter solar PV sites reach 1-2% of total load, forecasting the power output of these PV systems starts to become critical for efficient market and network operation. Without including a behind the meter solar forecast into the overall load forecasting operations, errors in the daily load forecast start to appear. Thankfully, Solcast's Grid Aggregations are easy to set-up, are highly accurate, and can help solve this challenging problem!
