How can I use the Yield Predictor in solar planning? The Yield Predictor is based on satellite measurements of solar radiation. Benefit from an extensive solar radiation record spanning six years of data taken at 15 minute sampling frequency - outperforming any other approach relying solely on typical meteorological years. Solar radiation is converted to the tilted plane and summed up to obtain the long-term average. The installation itself is characterized by two parameters: nominal solar module power in kWp and a system-specific performance ratio. The final result is the expected energy yield in kilowatt-hours. Since only real data points are used - with absolutely no synthetic generation of hourly values from monthly means - the Yield Predictor estimate is very representative of the real situation.

How does the Yield Optimizer help with planning flat-roof solar systems in particular? When planning tilted solar arrays on flat-roof buildings - for example on warehouses, office buildings, or retail shopping centers - a Yield Optimization analysis is highly recommended. You'll have free choice over the installation angles in regards to tilt and orientation. Take advantage of our offer to find the optimum installation angles best fitting to your local weather conditions. Adjustments up to 10 degrees occur quite regularly and lead to a rise in electricity output by as much as 1%. In addition to identifying the optimum installation angles, the Yield Optimizer contains a prediction of expected energy yield in kWh / kWp.
