Solar Farm Forecast

Forecast of the solar power for solar farms worldwide

Forecast for direct marketing

The Solar Farm Forecast provides worldwide 1/4-hourly forecast data of solar power for up to 14 days in advance.

Your benefits

  • Ideal baseline information for direct marketing
  • Tool for effective management: maintenance work can be postponed to take advantage of high global irradiation
  • Accounting basis for informing the transmission system operators
  • High forecast accuracy of solar power by using precise forecast models and integration of satellite products
  • Quality assured forecast data due to reference stations


Our standard data processing

The location forecast is interpolated on the basis of EWC's MOS-driven forecast system. A Clear Sky Model and the production via the global irradiation forecast complement the forecast. Losses due to clouds and snow are individually considered and adapted to the altitude of the solar plant location. The forecast accurancy is improved by incorporating solar farm-specific live power generation data provided by the customer.
