Maximize your project's potential with PVcase and SolarAnywhere® data
Just like building a house requires exact measurements, developing a successful solar project — from a small rooftop system to a massive solar farm — demands precision. For years, unreliable and low-quality data has posed significant challenges to the solar industry — undermining foundational assumptions and causing downstream impacts on project design and performance. Inaccurate weather information, outdated 'typical year' datasets, and manual patchwork methods like copying numbers from spreadsheets further compound the risk, often leading to costly mistakes.
These aren't just small errors. Poor or outdated data — including the kind used to generate “typical-year” weather files — can result in flawed energy forecasts, layouts that fail to capture enough sunlight, and ultimately missed financial targets. As solar projects grow larger and profit margins tighten, the smallest data error can have huge financial consequences, making old, manual methods and legacy datasets too risky for today’s competitive landscape.
A powerful solution: PVcase meets SolarAnywhere®
To solve this challenge, PVcase — the powerful and intuitive platform for designing and optimizing solar farms — seamlessly integrates with the SolarAnywhere® solar resource data API from Clean Power Research®. SolarAnywhere® is recognized globally as a bankable, well-validated, high-resolution data source, trusted by financial institutions and top global developers to inform investment decisions.
The integration brings high-quality, satellite-derived SolarAnywhere data directly into the industry's leading design software, PVcase. Instead of wasting time with clumsy, error-prone steps like downloading files, converting formats, or manually entering numbers, you can access and import SolarAnywhere's trusted data directly within your PVcase project — with just a few clicks.
This streamlined process ensures that your entire team, from designers to financial analysts, is working with the same consistent, bankable data from day one, minimizing errors and maximizing collaboration.
From better data to stronger returns
This powerful combination of top design solutions and trusted data transforms your entire workflow, unlocking tangible benefits that lead to smarter designs and stronger financial returns.
Pinpoint accurate power estimates
With reliable data, you can generate performance estimates you can truly trust. This is like having a crystal ball for your project, allowing you to confidently predict energy output and make smarter financial decisions. This level of certainty in your project's performance is invaluable for attracting investors and securing financing.
Optimize solar farm layouts
Every site is unique, with its own specific weather patterns and solar conditions. With the PVcase and SolarAnywhere® integration, you can design your solar arrays to maximize energy harvest based on the actual, site-specific weather conditions, ensuring every panel performs at its peak. This precise optimization translates directly into higher energy yields and greater profitability.
Reduce project risk
Using bankable data makes your projects more attractive to investors, leading to smoother due diligence processes and greater stakeholder confidence. When you can present a project backed by data trusted by the financial community, you build credibility and reduce the perceived risk of your investment. SolarAnywhere’s irradiance data is globally validated against ground measurements across diverse geographic regions and climate zones, reducing uncertainty and reinforcing its bankability
Accelerate project timelines
Eliminating manual data handling can significantly reduce project planning time. This empowers developers, engineers, and asset managers to move faster, design smarter, and deliver projects with unmatched confidence. In the competitive solar market, saving time means saving money and getting a crucial head start.
