Solar Panel Photovoltaic Live Broadcast

Does my solar PV system have online monitoring?

All the solar PV systems we install come with accessible online monitoring. Most of the time, this data comes from the system's inverter. As standard, this monitoring includes: details of your system.

What is solar & storage live?

Solar & Storage Live is the UK’s most forward-thinking, challenging and exciting renewable energy exhibition that celebrates the technologies at the forefront of the transition to a greener, smarter, more decentralised energy system.

How does solcast's real-time and Forecast solar data work?

Solcast's real-time and forecast solar data tracks and forecasts real clouds at a resolution of 1-2km and 5 minutes. Our irradiance data and PV power data is updated every 5 to 15 minutes, downscaled to 90 metre resolution. Aerosol and albedo effects are explicitly treated.

Where can I see a forecast of my solar power production?

There is a section within the app called the Optimization Area where you can see a forecast of your solar power production. This gives you some idea as to how you can manage that energy and the app will suggest ways of using your energy more sustainably.

What is live solar irradiance data?

Live solar irradiance data refers to real-time data of solar energy received per unit area at a specific location. Solcast live data covers a time frame from 7 days ago up to the present time, and is updated every 5 minutes. This data set is also referred to as “actuals” as it represents the modeled actual weather conditions at the location.

What is a solar NowCast?

A solar nowcast is a short-term solar irradiance forecast, up to 4 hours ahead, using real-time data. Solcast uses satellite cloud tracking models, using near real-time imagery from geostationary satellites, to track cloud movement and deliver high-resolution solar data every 5 to 15 minutes.
