OVERVIEW
Solar Resource Assessment (SRA) involves a comprehensive analysis of a potential solar energy production site to estimate its Annual Energy Production (AEP) accurately. As a key provider of equipment and solutions for solar measurement campaigns, we emphasize the importance of site-specific measurements. This entails the systematic collection of precise meteorological data to reduce uncertainties in AEP estimates.
Our Comprehensive Solution
Our SRA product portfolio offers a complete toolkit for utility-scale photovoltaic project developers. From sensors and data loggers to mounting towers, our products are designed for seamless integration, ensuring easy installation, precise data collection, and straightforward standardization. Discover how we can assist with equipment procurement, installation, ongoing maintenance, and data analysis by visiting our Flare SRA System product page.
By choosing our solar resource assessment solutions, you can achieve more accurate energy production estimates, improve financial outcomes, and expedite your project’s return on investment.
Significance
In recent years, the utility-scale solar PV industry has adopted the regular collection of site-specific solar resource data as standard practice. Properly installed and maintained SRA campaigns provide critical data that, when combined with long-term satellite-derived irradiance data, deliver the lowest possible uncertainty for your project. This method is highly regarded by financial institutions as it enhances financial terms and accelerates return on investment.
Measuring Techniques
Over one to several years, project developers use pyranometers, typically mounted on short masts, to measure solar resources. Additional meteorological sensors are also utilized to provide comprehensive data that informs plant design and estimates PV panel efficiency. Regular maintenance, such as routine cleaning of pyranometers, is essential to ensure accurate and meaningful resource assessment results.
