Solar generation potential across Europe showed a clear east-west divide in November, driven by persistent low-pressure systems affecting eastern regions.

TMY variants - there's no universal right choice. This guide explains what they are, why selection introduces uncertainty, and how non-specialists can transition to time series data for more reliable yield estimates.

Solcast has introduced new parameters for PM2.5 and PM10 particulate matter concentrations in its API to improve the accuracy of photovoltaic (PV) soiling loss modelling globally. This integration supports data-driven soiling analysis by combining particulate data with irradiance and weather information for better energy yield predictions.

India saw contrasting solar conditions in November, with strong irradiance in the north and Cyclone Ditwah reducing solar generation across the south and Sri Lanka.

Ecoflow supports its home solar and storage customers, through an app that helps homeowners understand their energy use and how they use their own solar power. To support this, the EcoFlow product team have integrated high-quality, global solar forecasts using the Solcast API - making tomorrow’s solar production visible, actionable, and reliable - now one of their apps most used features.

Persistent fog, cloud cover and heavy rainfall reduced irradiance across western North America, with Central Valley Tule fog driving anomalies as low as 40% below average.

Discover key insights from Solcast on how site measurements and fine-tuned models can make your PV forecasts more accurate and reliable.

Storm Claudia brought damaging winds, power outages and reduced solar irradiance across Western Europe in mid-November — with Portugal, Spain, Ireland and the UK particularly hard-hit.

Discover why moving beyond hourly Typical Meteorological Year (TMY) datasets to sub-hourly, multi-year Time series data is essential for accurate, risk adjusted financial modeling – and how this improves solar project returns.

India’s southwest monsoon brought 8% more rainfall than average this year - and solar generation took a hit from the associated cloud.
