Offerings Products & Services
INSTANT
Nowcasting solution that uses a network of cameras and sensors installed on the PV plant to provide minute-by-minute forecasts of solar irradiance and energy production. Detects and anticipates cloud shadow impacts to minimize forecast deviation penalties and optimize storage and hybridization management.
NEXT
Intraday and day-ahead solar power forecasting solution that integrates existing on-site plant data with Numerical Weather Prediction models and satellite images. Delivers deterministic and probabilistic production forecasts to improve trading, revenue optimization, and imbalance penalty reduction.
FUTURE
Solar resource assessment service that reduces irradiance uncertainty through one year of on-site meteorological measurements. Calibrates satellite data to provide bankable P50 and P90 values, optimizing project financing and reducing equity requirements.
Case StudiesReferences & Success Stories
Use case : Amarenco Group
CalibSun's FUTURE service validated solar potential for a 100MW PV power plant project by Amarenco. A one-year measurement campaign with an autonomous cabin and quantile mapping calibration algorithm improved yield estimates, increasing GHI by +1.5% versus satellite data. This optimized project financing by raising P50 and narrowing the P90–P50 gap, reducing risk.
Camera-based forecasting for a hybrid gold mine in Mali
CalibSun's INSTANT nowcasting, using hemispherical cameras at Barrick Gold's Loulo mine in Mali, enabled a 24 MWp solar integration without storage in an isolated microgrid, later doubled to 48 MWp. The system forecasts irradiance drops 15 minutes ahead, allowing thermal generators to adjust, saving 15.6 megaliters of fuel and 42,050 tonnes of CO2 annually while maintaining grid stability.
