Forecasts are crucial in optimizing renewable power plants with predictive controls. Solcast’s forecasts, and the resulting decisions we make with them, are front and center for our operators.

On variable days with cloud movements, Solcast data outperforms our machine learning, providing the best results for trading models and VPP operations.

I love the ease of accessibility of data from Solcast, like the granular data and additional parameters used to understand irradiance.

We're pleased as actual and estimation graphs align showing great Solcast API accuracy. It helps detect production stops or behavior changes in our plants which prompts us to investigate errors on our end.

The Solcast API-first approach helps us to automate more of early resource assessments and run multiple options faster. Because while everything needs to be fast right now, it's gotta be accurate too!

We rely on Solcast live data from our first plant and continue as we grow. Combined with on-site sensors, Solcast data help us confidently monitor and understand our assets operationally.

As far as we know, there's no provider that can provide a more accurate forecast.

With Solcast's short-term forecast, we can act immediately and make informed decisions for our solar assets.

We manage multiple projects in both asset construction and development and we consistently find that Solcast TMY data is the most reliable as it provides median values across multiple datasets.

We just keep finding that the Solcast TMY data was the most consistent, the median value across multiple data sets. Others seemed to be sometimes high, sometimes low, that’s why we want to start using Solcast across all our projects, and we’ll get other data sources to add to that when we need it.

Adding Solcast's weather data in our hydrogen storage systems improved our control strategy that responds well to weather patterns.

On top of our sophisticated solar modelling, Solcast's accurate data has elevated what we already have and allowed us to expand to new geographies.

For us, Solcast's day-ahead forecast excel in accuracy and data granularity. It helps us with precise planning for tomorrow's dispatch, unlike other providers' once-daily data updates.

For high-level projects where data accuracy is crucial and there's a financial outcome, our dependence is primarily on Solcast data.

Solcast data is suitable for use to accurately predict project energy yield in energy assessment and for use in energy assessment for project financing purposes.

Solcast's "Estimated Actuals" closes the gap for our owned and third-party solar portfolios.

Accurate real-time and forecasted weather data is crucial for assessing plant performance and maximizing the value of clean energy assets.

We’ve seen significant improvement in our forecasts since we started using Solcast.

We use various historical irradiance data for monitoring purposes of power plants. When there is no financial benefit for us, we use the free weather sources. For high-level projects where data accuracy is crucial and there's a financial outcome, we primarily depend on Solcast data.

The API's ease of use is key for us. Our goal is to automate the process and we're able to query Solcast data when met station data is missing.

Solcast’s automated forecasts enhance our intraday market accuracy, providing the precision we need without constant manual updates. This real-time accuracy allows us to make better decisions as conditions shift.
