Solar resource assessment
ESTIMATING THE SOLAR RESOURCE
Minimize site irradiance uncertainty and strengthen photovoltaic project financing with FUTURE
FUTURE minimizes uncertainty in on-site irradiance and optimizes project financing with one year of on-site measurements collected by a turn-key meteorological station installed on-site.
Get a robust P50 and a maximized P90
FUTURE reduces the uncertainty in on-site irradiation and helps solar developers optimize project financing thanks to a year's worth of on-site measurements to predict the long-term performance of the photovoltaic power plant.
Our turn-key meteorological measurement station placed on-site collects data for one year, in parallel to permitting processes. We then use this data to correct systematic errors inherent in satellite data. With our ready-to-use measurement station, we can carry out a one-year measurement campaign, to correct systematic errors in the satellite databases.
- Incorporates local meteorological phenomena
- Reduces risk, secures investment
- Enhances project value
- Helps optimize financing conditions and borrowing capacity
Enhancing financial terms
FUTURE provides a highly reliable solar resource assessment
Installed for 12 months, an autonomous turnkey meteorological station collects key site data (irradiation, temperature, humidity, etc.) at 5-minute intervals.
The campaign is carried out without impacting the project schedule, in parallel with the permiting and grid connection processes.
By correcting uncertainties in satellite databases through calibration and post-processing, FUTURE provides a highly reliable, data-backed P90 scenario that enables the PV project promoter and developer to negotiate more favorable debt sizing, thereby reducing equity investment costs.
FUTURE reduces irradiance uncertainty from 3% to 0.5%, and the P90/P50 ratio by around 1.5%, ensuring the economic viability of your project. As a result, FUTURE helps developers to increase the P90 by 2% and reduce the equity contribution by up to 20%.
