NEXT : solar power forecasts
Solar power forecasting for photovoltaïcs
Irradiance and energy production forecasts for all photovoltaic stakeholders.
Forecasting for Photovoltaics
Harnessing the power of Data Science and AI
Twelve years of research and development, in partnership with Mines Paris - PSL, have allowed us to harness the power of data science and artificial intelligence to create a cutting-edge digital technology algorithm capable of integrating data of different types.
"We intelligently merge all available data to provide forecasts tailored to professionals in the photovoltaic energy sector."
Irradiance and solar power forecasts (kWh)
NEXT provides estimates of irradiance (GTI and GHI) as well as production (kWh), at the site level or for a portfolio of plants, directly usable by operators, traders, aggregators, grid operators, and industrial companies with isolated sites.
Reliable Forecasts using Artificial Intelligence
NEXT provides highly reliable electricity production estimates from 5 minutes to several days in advance, by skillfully combining real-time data from photovoltaic plants (irradiance, temperature, etc.), meteorological models, and satellite data.
Multiple Advantages
- Nowcast, intraday, day/week ahead
- Real-time site data feedback
- Portfolio management & virtual plant
- SaaS or easy API integration
- Probabilistic confidence intervals
Revolutionizing Forecasting
An advanced and plug-and-play forecasting API
- Probabilistic approach: Development of scenarios for operational or commercial applications.
- Customizable: Adapts to site configuration and specific needs (time horizon, frequency, output...).
