Understanding and optimising solar energy production is a growing priority for developers and installers. DNV’s Solar Resource Compass (SRC) is making this process more efficient with its recent expansion into Europe. This innovative tool provides solar developers access to high-quality energy production estimates. It allows them to compare multiple irradiance datasets and account for losses due to dust and snow, all online and on demand. 

Streamlining Solar Project Assessments with Solar Resource Compass 

Developers can rely on DNV’s historical weather data from Solcast and SolarFarmer, DNV’s flagship energy modelling platform, to inform decision-making for utility-scale PV plants. This tool is currently available in beta testing, and its introduction to other regions, such as Asia, Latin America, and Oceania, is planned for later this year. 
Solar Resource Compass enables developers to perform due diligence much faster, allowing them to evaluate more projects and anticipate potential energy outputs more accurately, streamlining project planning. 

Astronergy’s TOPCon Modules Excel Durability 

While SRC aids in planning and energy yield estimation, another challenge for solar projects is maintaining long-term performance. Astronergy’s N-type TOPCon PV modules recently demonstrated exceptional durability by passing the demanding UVID tests. These modules achieved a remarkably low degradation rate of 0.7% after exposure to UV60, far outperforming conventional UV standards. With these results, Astronergy guarantees long-term reliability for installations, ensuring stable power generation over decades of use. 

Reliable Solutions for Solar Developers and Installers 

For developers and installers looking to ensure project reliability from both a planning and operational perspective, DNV’s SRC and Astronergy’s UV-resistant modules offer an unmatched combination of precision and durability.
