SOLARGIS DATA AND SERVICES

Historical and Recent Data

Solargis database is organised in segmented data files that include grid (raster) data layers structured for a given period
of time. Temporal coverage varies by region and the variability is given by historical availability and features of different
satellite missions. At present, we are processing data from three meteorological data centres operating geostationary
satellites at five positions covering surface of entire Earth (valid data is not available for polar regions). Solar resource
parameters are computed by Solargis from data inputs received in real time from five geostationary satellites (Meteosat,
GOES and Himawari) and from global meteorological models. Meteorological parameters are derived from the numerical
weather models ERA5 and IFS. Compared to solar resource data, they have lower spatial and temporal resolution.
In addition, we systematically provide time series of other support parameters such as albedo. Tables 1 and 2 and
Figures 1 and 2 show technical features of Solargis solar resource and meteorological data.
Solargis data are outputs of meteorological models and they represent a geographic area (area depends on a
meteorological parameter) rather than a specific site. Local climate of a site may differ from the values derived from the
Solargis database. This natural discrepancy has a typical systematic nature, which it can be reduced with help of local
ground measurements, by site adaptation of Solargis model outputs, based on the correlation of measured and model
data values.

Solar and Wind Power Forecast

Solargis forecasting is based on the use of numerical weather prediction models (NWP) and satellite-based cloud motion
vector model (CMV). The forecast service delivers continuous data stream from the recent time to horizon of 14 days.
This service is built by a combination of several model outputs, which dynamically assimilate at different weighting based
on the systematic evaluation of the accuracy of the forecast.
The forecast includes two services:
• Nowcast of solar parameters and solar power is available for a period from Hour 0 to Hour 3 at resolution up

Rev1 (15.05.2023) CONFIDENTIAL page 5 of 19

Solargis: Offer to ZTPC Egypt for Solargis Data and Services
OSA-202402-23

to 10 minutes. The nowcast is based on the Solargis-CMV method, which is combined with data outputs from
NWP for a period between Hour 2 and Hour 3.
• Forecast of solar, meteo parameters and solar and wind power is available for a period from now to next 14
days. For practical reasons, it is also separated into three forecast periods: intraday (Day 0), day ahead (D+1)
and forecast for Day +2 up to Day +14. Forecast service is based on a postprocessing of combined outputs
from Numerical Weather Prediction (NWP) models (input data from three models are used: IFS, ICON, GFS).
PV power and wind power forecasts are calculated from the relevant solar and meteo primary data parameters. The
forecast data streams are systematic quality-controlled and accuracy enhanced within internal validation procedures
based on the use of solar resource data from satellite-based model and meteorological data from meteorological models.
To deliver forecast as close as possible to the real behaviour of solar PV power plant of wind turbine we offer service of
adapting forecast with real power production data from a SCADA control system or from a monitoring system, received
via email, FTP or API. This service includes quality control of incoming data and post-processing that adjust the forecast
data to the PV power production profile characteristics of a power plant using statistical methods and machine learning.
The model adaptation is offered in two modes:
• Ad-hoc, based on customer data delivered in non-automatic mode
• Systematically, in regular or near real-time mode
The forecast models run on computing infrastructure of Solargis. There are no specific hardware requirements on the
client site.

Energy Simulation and Design Optimisation

PV energy yield simulation software evaluates local climate and electricity production potential of the planned PV project.
It includes assessment of typical and minimum achievable electricity production over the lifetime of the PV power plant
considering probability calculation. The service provides technical evaluation of key components of a PV system, expected
energy losses, and expected performance ratio. This information is used as a base for detailed technical and economic
assessment of a PV power plant.
The PV potential calculation is based on new in-house developed Solargis PV energy simulation and PV design
optimisation models, which include best available scientific methods and approaches published in scientific literature.
The models include algorithms for all energy conversion stages that occur in the monofacial and bifacial PV modules, all
type of trackers, inverters, transformers, including cabling, nearby and terrain horizon shading effects, mismatch, and
surface pollution. All algorithms are verified by test data and real PV production data. Solargis PV simulation software
considers non-linear response of PV system to changing solar resource, temperature and other environmental conditions.

Data Quality Control and Analytics

Solargis team has 15+ years of history in quality control and processing of the measured and modelled solar resource
and meteorological data. We processed time series data from large range of solar instruments installed at 2000+ public
and commercial sites, worldwide. Quality control is part of all services which involve use of customer data:
• Solar and meteorological measurements

Rev1 (15.05.2023) CONFIDENTIAL page 6 of 19

Solargis: Offer to ZTPC Egypt for Solargis Data and Services
OSA-202402-23

• PV power production data measured at a project site

Based on this experience, we developed our own suit of quality control and data processing tools which are consolidated
into a unique software infrastructure called Solargis Analyst. These software tools make it possible to deliver quality-
controlled and gap-filled time series measurements for bankable performance evaluation.

Consultancy

Solargis offers consultancy services for the area of PV potential analysis, project development, performance evaluation
and forecasting of existing projects or entire portfolios. In last 12 years we have been involved in 1200+ consultancy
assignment in the following domains:
• Solar resource assessment and site-adaptation of model data
• Site evaluation and adaption of model values of albedo
• PV energy yield assessment report and design optimisation
