Solar data services… in the cloud
We built a new approach to solar forecasting and modeling technology from the ground up, using the latest in weather satellite imagery, machine learning, computer vision and big databases. We crunch more than 600 million new forecasts every hour in a cloud-based environment on AWS and provide real-time access to our data via API. Use the API Toolkit to access nearly 20 years of historical data, including TMY files.
Historical and TMY Data
- Low uncertainty, zero bias, bankable dataset
- Independent validation & global coverage
- High resolution data: Up to 5 minute / 90 metre resolution
- PV modelling software integration (PVSyst, SAM, TMY3, CSV)
- Solar irradiance (GHI, DNI, DHI)
- Weather (Temp, Wind, Humidity, Snow, etc)
- Includes aerosol impacts (tracking of smoke, dust, haze)

Christmas Day Forecast Delivers Solar Surprises for Some
Solar generation this Christmas will vary widely, with cloudy weather in the Americas, sunshine for Australia, and mixed patterns across Europe and Asia.
Active typhoon season and monsoons split Asia’s November irradiance
While storms and persistent rainfall suppressed irradiance in parts of Southeast Asia, a clear sky condition boosted solar production across the Korean Peninsula, Northern Japan, and most of the Philippines.
Northern Europe takes the brunt of first winter systems
Winter storms in Northern Europe drove solar deficits in November, while Southern Europe experienced clear skies, with Italy seeing a 22% solar generation boost.
