Behind the meter solar - A complex challenge, simplified

It’s never been easier to take on the challenges of behind the meter solar. By providing basic PV installation information (capacity, location, region), Solcast can create a customised forecasting solution for your grid operations within just a few days - anywhere in the world.

Solcast Grid Aggregations provide a flexible approach to behind-the-meter solar power forecasts. Organise your data however you choose, with a customised live and forecast API.

Behind the meter solar begins to diminish load forecasting model performance at as little as 1-2% of total capacity.

Solcast Grid Aggregations provide PV fleet visibility and have a strong track record of reducing mean load forecast errors by 10-20% across a wide array of case studies.

Behind the meter solar forecasting technology… in the cloud

Our Grid Aggregations product offers rapid-update forecasting capability (new forecasts every 5-15 minutes) and global coverage. All made possible by using the latest in weather satellite imagery, machine learning, computer vision and big databases. With only some very basic PV installation data (PV system capacity, location, region), we connect your PV fleet with our cloud-based solar forecasting technology and provide real-time visibility via API, including:

Secure, encrypted data transmission
Proprietary cloud & aerosol detection (tracking smoke, dust, haze)
Probabilistic forecasting outputs (P50, P10, P90)
High-resolution solar irradiance data (1-2km)
Forecasts from 5 minutes through 7 days ahead
5/10/15/30 minute forecast resolution
Delivered via REST API (download CSV, JSON or XML)
