INSTANT - Nowcasting from 1 minute


Nowcasting with a network of cameras & sensors on site
NOWCASTING WITH ON SITE CAMERAS
Instant, industry-first forecasting solution integrating sky camera and sensor network data in real-time.
Instant enables you to forecast irradiation and energy production from your photovoltaic power plant in as little as 1 minute, with unmatched precision. Thanks to a network of sensors (cameras and pyranometers) installed on site, enabling 3D modeling of clouds and quantifying their impact on production, you can accurately anticipate the solar energy injected into the grid.
Benefits
Up-to-the-minute forecast
Achieve 3D vision of your site’s sky to maximize profits and minimize imbalance penalties
World's first camera network solution
The uniquely designed network of cameras and sensors enables nowcasting for large-scale PV plants with unmatched accuracy.
Suitable for challenging climates
Due to the unique network of cameras and sensors installed on-site, we deliver the most accurate and reliable forecasts in the most challenging weather conditions such as monsoons.
Available globally
Worldwide coverage and hardware installation and maintenance capabilities due to the partnership with Campbell Scientific, world leading provider of meteorological measurements solutions.
