Solar Resource Assessment

It is a technical process that quantifies natural geographic conditions, climate characteristics, and solar resource distribution to provide foundational data for site selection and system design. The core involves selecting appropriate resource data, building accurate prediction models, and estimating energy yield over the plant's lifecycle to reduce prediction uncertainty.

Accurately assessing solar resources is the first crucial step in planning, design, and investment decisions. Key aspects include data collection and analysis, key parameter evaluation, detailed modeling, and uncertainty analysis. Solar irradiance directly determines annual energy generation, which is core to project economics. Precise assessment is fundamental for calculating ROI and LCOE, and is a prerequisite for economic feasibility.

Cover in-depth data review, multi-source data fusion and correction, long-term series modeling, uncertainty quantification, and detailed site modeling. We rigorously review measured data, integrate long-term satellite data, construct Typical Meteorological Years (TMY), and accurately simulate terrain shading and local climate effects. The delivery is an authoritative report including P50/P75/P90 Plane-of-Array (POA) irradiance with defined uncertainties. Extensive empirical data adds value in setting boundary conditions and loss assumptions.
