Site meteorology
On-site measurements that feed the forecasts and performance reporting.

GridEdge & TankSight
Bankable data for solar and wind. Every litre accounted for at fuel depots.
GridEdge gives solar and wind plants on-site meteorology, day-ahead and intraday generation forecasts, and early detection of underperformance. TankSight covers tank levels, leaks and gas at refineries, depots and filling stations.
Operational question
“What will the plant generate tomorrow, hour by hour?”
Constraints we address
- Forecast error brings grid imbalance penalties and lost revenue.
- Soiling, snow and dust reduce yield without raising any alarm.
- Debris flows, ground movement and high winds threaten foundations and access roads.
- Fuel losses and leaks at depots remain unexplained.
- Lenders require independent performance data every month.
