Resource Assessment for Solar Development

GroundWork performs solar resource assessments prior to construction to improve energy modelling. Over fifty gigawatts of solar plants have used GroundWork’s high-quality ground data to get projects built. Our revenue-grade measurement data is specifically designed to achieve our clients’ goals of reducing the uncertainty of the energy production forecast.

GroundWork datasets include global horizontal irradiance (GHI), PV soiling rates, albedo, diffuse horizontal irradiance (DHI), and other ancillary measurements. 

The cornerstone of GroundWork solar resource datasets is our GroundWatch Data Quality Program. By combining rigorous onsite maintenance with meticulous daily quality control, our datasets are second to none.

With over 500+ deployments, we have the metrics to back it up. GroundWatch boasts:

  • 99.6% System Uptime
  • 98.1% Irradiance Availability
  • 91.8% Weekly Maintenance Compliance

Our stellar percentages of system uptime, irradiance availability, and maintenance compliance ensure that our clients gets the highest return when it is needed most.
