Terabase Energy
The Terabase Platform is a powerful web-based tool to acceler- ate large scale solar project development decision-making from siting through to design optimization. Find a suitable site, then design and optimize the project, all via a simple and intuitive GIS-based interface. The Terabase Platform is powered by a predictive engine for energy output, including bifacial perfor- mance. The platform is free to use and Terabase also offers engineering services for a fee to platform users.

Vaisala
Vaisala’s Solar Energy Due Diligence Services deliver the net energy estimates needed to make critical project investment
and financing decisions. Vaisala’s forecast system is based on advanced numerical weather prediction modeling techniques. It statistically integrates on-site data to calibrate forecast predictions to a project site’s distinct geography and climate. When long-term ground observations are unavailable, they use nearly 20 years
of hourly site data from their global solar dataset to provide a reliable and accurate solar production forecast. Their methodology accounts for localized characteristics such as clouds influenced by complex terrain, coastal effects, and monsoons.
