4 FAQs about Live broadcast about solar power generation

What is live solar data?

Live solar data refers to real-time data of solar energy received per unit area at a specific location. Solcast live solar 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.

How does solcast's live solar data work?

Solcast's live solar data tracks 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.

What is the difference between live solar data and global weather data?

Live solar data spanning from 7 days ago to now, issued every 5 minutes, at 5 to 60 minute granularity, anywhere on Earth. Live cloud tracking provides high-resolution solar irradiance data, downscaled global weather data provides the most accurate actuals based on available data, as it becomes available.

How does solcast generate solar irradiance data?

Solcast's live solar irradiance data is generated using a combination of satellite observations and weather models. Solcast processes these data sources using advanced algorithm models that account for atmospheric conditions, such as cloud cover and aerosol levels.
