𝑲𝒆𝒚 𝒕𝒂𝒌𝒆𝒂𝒘𝒂𝒚𝒔 𝒇𝒓𝒐𝒎 𝑬𝒏𝒆𝒓𝒈𝒚 𝑻𝒂𝒊𝒘𝒂𝒏 𝑬𝒙𝒑𝒐 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟒 After visiting 15 companies and participating in the full event within a week, I'm really excited to share my observations in Taiwan! Happy to get on a coffee for more info ☕ (𝟭) 𝗘𝘃𝗲𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘁𝘆𝗽𝗵𝗼𝗼𝗻 𝗰𝗮𝗻𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗽 𝘂𝘀, only postponing The expo was postponed to Fri-Sun due to the typhoon day off. Rescheduling meetings and visits can be challenging, but the organization was executed professionally. I truly appreciate the effort and dedication of the entire team—thank you for a great experience! (𝟮) 𝗥𝗶𝘀𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗩𝗲𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗴𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 Many key players in the market are increasingly opting for vertical integration. Independent Power Producers (IPP) are expanding their Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC) capabilities, while EPC firms are actively seeking investors to develop projects independently. As more solar PV projects emerge, we can anticipate further integration, especially in asset management. Notably, Operations and Maintenance (O&M) remains one of the most outsourced functions in the industry. (𝟯) 𝗔𝗱𝘃𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗦𝗼𝗹𝗮𝗿 𝗗𝗮𝘁𝗮 𝗣𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗲𝘀 Using historical satellite-based solar data is not common yet in Taiwan. The market has been using various ways to estimate long-term irradiance based on the energy output of existing plants or ground measurements from a distanced location. I look forward to sharing more information about the potential benefits of incorporating satellite data into solar energy assessments. This approach could provide more accurate irradiance estimates and enhance the reliability of solar PV projects and support better decision-making in the industry. I hope to hear more from you and connect with others interested in innovative solutions for solar energy in Taiwan 💪🏻 #solarenergy #solarpower #solardata #solargis #renewables #renewableenergy #taiwan #singapore #cleanenergy #netzero

☀️🌍𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝗔𝗢𝗗? 𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗗𝗼𝗲𝘀 𝗜𝘁 𝗔𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝗦𝗼𝗹𝗮𝗿 𝗔𝘀𝘀𝗲𝘁 𝗣𝗲𝗿𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲? Aerosol Optical Depth (AOD) measures how much sunlight is blocked by tiny particles in the air. High AOD indicates a greater concentration of these particles, which reduces the direct sunlight reaching solar panels and ultimately leads to lower energy production. Common causes of high aerosol concentrations include dust storms, wildfires, volcanic eruptions, industrial emissions, agricultural activities, and humidity. The impact of AOD on solar asset performance can be significant. For instance, we recently observed the effects of a forest fire in Portugal, where ash from the fires in Portugal and Northwest Spain caused a temporary GHI reduction of up to 30% on September 19-20. 📊✨At Solargis, we provide satellite-based PV output data for the short term (past six months to the previous day). Each month, we re-analyze GHI values to assess the impact of aerosols. This re-analysis is particularly valuable for monthly performance reporting, especially during large-scale natural disasters.

As a salesperson, I ❤️ getting customer complaints! Here's why: 1. Every complaint is an opportunity to understand customer frustrations and fine-tune our services 2. It's also an opportunity to help the customer understand the complexities of our service and showcase our commitment towards the customer's success At Solargis, although we provide data with unmatched accuracy, we receive complaints almost daily about inconsistencies between our data and customer's measurements. Such feedback is more than welcome. If you have such feedback to share, go ahead and bombard us with such feedback. At the same time, it is important that you and we don't waste time in inefficient communication. With this in mind, I'd like to share an excellent guide prepared by our customer support team and technical teams on what are the most common reasons for discrepancies, what you could check before contacting us, and how to share information with us for speedy resolution of the issues faced. We look forward to receiving your complaints (feedback!) 😊

🌞 Exciting Update on Solargis Validation Sites in Ireland! 🇮🇪 For a while now, clients have noticed that Solargis GHI values are 7-8% lower than other data sources for various locations in Ireland, leading some to label Solargis as ‘conservative.’ Many have opted to blend multiple data sources to find a middle ground. But what if the other sources are simply too optimistic? 🤔 Today, we have some answers! 🍀 We've gathered publicly available measurements from Met Éireann that are ideal for validation. In the challenging coastal areas known for their complexity in solar resource assessment, our Solargis model shows a remarkable -0.2% GHI bias at Valentia, Ireland. We're thrilled to announce the release of our first batch of validation results from three sites in Ireland, with more exciting updates coming in the months ahead! Stay tuned! 🌍✨ #SolarEnergy #RenewableEnergy #Ireland #DataValidation #MetEireann #Solargis #Innovation #SolarAssessment
