Designed for utility scale solar sites, we offer you a globally proven solution.
With low upfront CAPEX and powerful cloud-based information systems, you can access a complete suite of irradiance and weather data to ensure forecast accuracy and improve site efficiency.
Solcast is the world leader in real-time actuals and rapid-update solar forecasts. This solution utilises Solcast’s centralised Amazon Web Services’ (AWS) cloud infrastructure for all complex algorithmic processes and data plumbing. You will gain the power of AWS to interpret and deliver your data at top speed, providing real-time, historical and forecasting estimates direct to your API.
Receive monitoring and support from the DTN APAC and Solcast teams, 24/7.
Utilising Solcast’s satellite fleet, sky-imagers and the SCADA data collected from your solar farm, you will acquire not only forecasting capability, but a precise picture of your actual yield and PR. Specifically built to ensure you meet the requirements of the AEMO and reduce your exposure to costly penalties.
Reap the efficiency and yield benefits of world-leading solar and irradiance data, without it costing the earth.
More than 60% of large-scale solar capacity in the NEM already relies on the data provided by the DTN APAC and Solcast solution.
Real-time error alerts are delivered when your SCADA system detect any drop in performance, so that a solution can be found quickly.
A cold front sweeping over southeastern Australia is bringing an icy polar blast and chilly nights. The animation below shows the forecast temperatures at 850 hPa (approximately 1,500 metres up) easily dropping between –2°C to -4°C above the capital cities, which translates to near sea-level surface temperatures in the low-teens. Video: Forecast 850 hPa temperatures over […]
Wind power generation has reached record levels as a series of powerful cold fronts sweep over Australia’s southeast. Most of Australia’s wind farms are located in South Australia, Victoria and NSW where cold fronts frequently bring periods of high wind energy.
