Our Reports for Photovoltaics Projects are based on:
• Processing of SolarGIS time series of solar radiation and air temperature (15-minute data); data quality is validated by an independent expert study by University of Geneva & International Energy Agency. Among other solar databases SolarGIS was evaluated as the best performing database available on the market
• In-house developed and scientifically proofed numerical models

Benefits:
• Available for all stages of the project lifetime: for prefeasibility studies, planning and operation
• Applicable in engineering, management and financing
• Supported by consultancy, data products and maps
• All reports are bankable, short time delivery

Site Climate Assessment Report

Assessment of solar radiation and air temperature for a solar energy project.
• In-house validation procedures for the region of interest
• Comparison to other data sources and critical analysis
• Interannual variability is analysed using 17 (12) years of continuous historical data

Photovoltaic Energy Yield Assesment Report

Estimate of local climate conditions and PV project performance. Includes all necessary information for a project preparation, assessment of design alternatives and financing.
• Includes Site Climate Assessment and monthly statistics of the PV output
• Components of the power plant are evaluated independently
• Quantitative evaluation of shading losses due to terrain and inter-row shading of PV modules
• Optimization of the module field (spacing, inclination)
• Evaluation of alternative options (module technologies, fixed vs. tracking, etc.)
• Estimate of the PV power production in the first year and for the project lifetime
• Uncertainty at 90% probability of exceedance P(90)

See the typical Table of Contents (PDF, 109 KB) of the PV report.

Performance Evaluation Report

Comparison of the power production data with independent estimates and verification of the performance parameters of the PV power plant.
• Expected energy production is calculated on the basis of SolarGIS data solar radiation and air temperature
• Comparison to the power production data
• Includes uncertainty analysis
