Core offering

Solargis provides bankable solar radiation and meteorological data, a portfolio of PV project software applications, and expert consultancy services covering the entire photovoltaic power plant lifecycle. Its core deliverables are high-resolution solar resource datasets, web-based simulation and monitoring tools (Prospect, Evaluate, Monitor, Forecast, Analyst), and project-level assessments used by developers, operators, investors, and utilities for financing, design, and operational decisions.

Product overview

Solargis is a solar data, software, and services platform for PV projects providing bankable solar and meteorological data, software solutions, and expert consultancy. The core portfolio consists of six integrated web applications: Prospect (site screening), Evaluate (design and simulation), Monitor (real-time assessment), Forecast (14-day power predictions), and Analyst (data management). These are complemented by the Time Series API for automated data delivery, Solarmaps for weather impact analysis, and the PV Components Catalog. The platform is built on proprietary satellite-derived solar radiation models with 250m spatial resolution and sub-hourly temporal resolution, validated at over 1500 locations globally.

Direct peers

• Vortex: Vortex is a Spanish company providing high-resolution meteorological and solar resource data, including solar irradiance forecasts and historical datasets, to the renewable energy industry. Directly competes with Solargis in European markets with similar satellite-derived solar data products.
• Clean Power Research: Clean Power Research provides SolarAnywhere solar irradiance data and PV modeling software for developers, operators, and utilities across North America. Directly comparable to Solargis in product offering (solar resource data + simulation/monitoring SaaS) and target customer base (PV developers, financiers, operators).
• Meteotest (Meteonorm): Meteotest produces Meteonorm, a widely used climatological database and solar radiation model for PV and building energy applications. Directly comparable to Solargis as a long-established solar/meteo data source for engineering and PV simulation, particularly in European and Asian markets.
• 3E: 3E is a Belgian consultancy and software provider offering solar resource data, PV yield assessment, and asset monitoring for developers and investors. Directly comparable to Solargis in European solar data and asset management software.

Others

• Kipp & Zonen: Kipp & Zonen (part of OTT HydroMet) manufactures radiometers and ground-based solar measurement instruments used to validate the ground-truth data Solargis relies on. Adjacent ecosystem player rather than direct competitor, but central to the solar measurement supply chain Solargis serves.

Emerging players

• Reuniwatt: Reuniwatt provides solar irradiance nowcasting and forecasting using ground-based sky imaging and satellite data for solar plant operators and grid operators. Overlaps with Solargis in solar forecasting and intra-day prediction, particularly for grid and storage optimization use cases.
• Solcast: Solcast provides high-resolution solar irradiance forecasting and historical data via API, targeting utility-scale operators, traders, and asset managers. Competes with Solargis Forecast and Integrations products with a more API-native, developer-focused go-to-market.
