We have a product called Cloudshine, that predicts the incoming irradiance on individual PV farms within 10 minutes.

About

It seems like for years, one of the biggest problems with full solar photovoltaic integration is the intermittent power production resulting from those dense, cotton ball looking, cumulous or stratocumulus clouds. We have a product called Cloudshine, that predicts the incoming irradiance on individual PV farms within 10 minutes so that: A. Grid operators can proactively prepare for the coming voltage spikes and engage traditional resources like gas turbines or storage. B. Utilities can enjoy larger profits from less regulatory fines and cheaper prices for advanced power purchases in the Spot market. C. And regulators can ultimately retain a higher confidence that utilities can feasibly meet their Renewable Portfolio Standards legislation.
