Slovakian company Solargis has launched a software platform designed specifically for visualisation, quality management and analysis of solar energy data.
The Solargis Analyst platform has been developed in-house by the Solargis data analysis team.
It aims to empower solar engineers and decision-makers to improve the efficiency of complex resource analysis, identify and fix errors in measurements, and ultimately improve technical and financial decisions.
The platform has been developed by the team working with solar measurements for over 1000 sites worldwide.
The early development process has been supported by the solar resource analysis team at pilot customer Iberdrola, Solargis said.
The platform enables users to tackle quality management challenges, including unreliable, incomplete and inconsistently formatted data, while meeting demand from the industry for tools specifically based on solar physics and advanced data science.
Iberdrola solar resource analyst Elena Rodríguez said: “As we aim to conduct best-practice solar measurement and data analysis campaigns for our growing global asset base, it’s imperative that we empower our solar resource analysis team, so that we can collectively have confidence in the quality of the data that underpins our strategic decision-making.
“Solargis has successfully delivered a software platform that helps us meet this objective and will no doubt contribute to improved data quality standards across the sector.”
Solargis chief executive Marcel Suri said: “Solargis Analyst is a tool that has been developed by solar resource specialists for solar analysts and decision makers.
“Our team grapples daily with the challenges faced in reconciling inconsistent ground-based measurements with satellite time-series, and we have aimed to distil 20-plus years of our experience in the field into software that will dramatically increase the efficiency of solar data visualisation, analysis and quality management.”
