INSTANT-couv-mobile-normal

INSTANT: Real-time sky observation for site-specific nowcasting

Nowcast solar production in real time with cameras tracking clouds for optimized control of your PV plant.

Through an innovative approach using multiple sky observation cameras, INSTANT can evaluate cloud coverage, movement, altitude, and thickness, to anticipate short-term power drops from your large scale power plant,  isolated or hybrid PV installation.

 

  • Maximize solar energy penetration without impacting your industrial activity.
  • Manage energy sources with assisted or automated decisions (EMS/PMS integration).
  • Optimize storage sizing for hybrid systems.

NEXT-Home-mobile-normal

NEXT: intraday & day-ahead forecasts

Achieve unmatched accuracy in solar forecasts with on-site measurements, combined with weather models and satellite images for precise day-ahead and intraday predictions.

NEXT provides irradiance and production forecasts directly for operators, traders, aggregators, grid managers, or industrials. optimizing photovoltaic power plant management from one site to a worldwide portfolio of PV plants.  

 

  • Integrate forecasts into your EMS, PMS, monitoring, and trading solutions.
  • Anticipate developments in the photovoltaic energy market and increase the profitability of your assets.
  • Optimize storage and load shedding while maintaining grid balance.

 

Lifecast

ANG-Future-Home-normal

FUTURE: site's performance assessement

Boost your solar project with 1-year on-site measurements, reducing uncertainty and optimizing long term financing.
 

FUTURE revolutionizes best practices in estimating irradiance potential for photovoltaic project developments. The one-year on-site measurement campaign, with an autonomous cabin installed during the development phase, allows for proper qualification of your site's solar resource.

 

  • Secure your project with investors, banks, and technical advisors.
  • Consolidate financial profitability and reduce project risk profile.
  • Optimize storage sizing - hybrid systems & grid.
