Introducing Solar Model 3

Solar Modal 3 is a next-generation model that turns streams of satellite data into clear, finance-ready solar insights. Built from over two decades of innovation, it’s the intelligent core behind the world’s most advanced solar irradiation database, helping energy pioneers see the planet’s sunlight in motion, predict performance with precision, and build the renewable future from orbit down.

End-to-end renewable energy solutions

From historical data to real-time forecasts, from on-site sensors to digital intelligence, our solutions cover the entire renewable energy value chain.

Our solutions have been helping customers for over 20 years. The data is supported by science and relied upon by hundreds of customers worldwide, including project developers and operators, the financial community, and energy consultants.

All products stand alone or connect into a complete weather system for renewable energy. You get simplified procurement, reduced risk, and higher performance driven by connected intelligence.

Choose either flexible online tools or pull data directly into your systems through our API with guaranteed 24/7 availability.

Find the optimal sites for solar energy projects

Xweather gives you instant access to over 25 years of historical solar irradiance and weather time series data for solar resource assessments, output forecasts, and risk analysis. Comprehensive data helps you choose the best sites, designs, and technologies for your solar projects to maximize energy output and minimize risk.

Cut your solar resource uncertainty in half

Accurate solar resource data is critical for site assessment. Xweather uses advanced statistical techniques to correct the bias in historical solar irradiance data derived from satellites. This process reduces the uncertainty by more than 50%, allowing you to predict a project's feasibility and energy yield with more confidence.

High-quality wind data for resource assessment

Unlock the potential of your wind energy projects with high-quality historical wind resource data for site selection, resource assessment, and climate impact studies. Xweather supports every stage of wind energy development helping wind farm developers and operators make informed decisions to enhance project viability and success.

Set your energy generation budget with confidence

How much of last month’s departure from expected production was caused by the weather? What should you expect next month or quarter? Xweather provides an independent monthly assessment of the weather's impact on your wind and solar project portfolio so you can set annual energy generation budgets, produce monthly operating reports, and determine the causes of under- or over-performance.

Lightning detection and alerts for wind and solar farms

Wind farms are natural targets for lightning. Xweather provides real-time severe weather monitoring and automated lightning alerts for all your wind and solar assets worldwide. See how you can improve safety, protect technicians, and prioritize inspections with Xweather Protect.

Expert opinion

The truth about renewable energy forecasting

This three-part series tells the story of what it takes to be continually amongst the best in the world, the lessons learned through lots of practice, and an honest look at the limits of forecasting.

Part one: "The Good"

Forecast accuracy has increased dramatically over the last few decades. What could only be predicted one day in advance in 1980 can now be forecasted with the same level of accuracy five days in advance.

Part two: "The Bad"

Bad forecasts don’t just look bad, they cost money. Bad forecasts can turn into bad maintenance schedules, over- or under-commitment to day-ahead markets, and sub-optimal dispatch of energy storage.

Part three: "The Ugly"

With renewable energy, you don’t have to pay for your fuel and that fuel is also entirely carbon-free. These are two huge strengths. But you can’t just make this energy show up when and where you want it.
