Australian software developer PV Lighthouse has secured almost AUD 1.97 million ($1.32 million) to drive development of its SunSolve Yield advanced simulation engine, which is designed to improve yield forecasting for utility-scale solar projects.

PV Lighthouse, a resource for photovoltaic engineers and scientists, has received $1.97 million from the Australian Renewable Energy Agency (ARENA) to fund the continued development of SunSolve Yield, an advanced simulation engine that improves yield forecasting for utility-scale solar projects.

Australian software developer PV Lighthouse has secured almost $2 million in federal to drive the continued development of its SunSolve Yield advanced simulation engine that is designed to improve yield forecasting for utility-scale solar projects.

PV Lighthouse, an Australian software developer, has secured AU$1.97 million (US$1.32 million) from the Australian Renewable Energy Agency (ARENA) to support the development of its SunSolve Yield technology, aiming to improve yield forecasting for utility-scale solar projects.

A company that began as a free solar data website in 2011 has landed a $1.97 million grant to fine tune the product that, 13 years later, it calls “the world’s most advanced solar simulation engine”

We invited 5 panelists from a cross section of the solar industry to talk about the financial value of accurate modelling at the PVPMC 2024.

This video show you how you can to rapidly calculate the bifacial adjustment factors required by PVSyst to deal with the complexities presented by real-world bifacial installations

This video describes the different types of modules that can be simulated in SunSolve-Yield

This video describes the process to load weather from a csv file. The csv file could be generated from a variety of sources such as Meteonorm, Solcast, SolarGIS and NRELs National Solar Radiation Database.

This video walks you through the steps to create and run your first yield simulation

This video describes in more detail the inputs used define a SAT system

There are two types of optical absorption in a semiconductor: band-to-band absorption (which can contribute to light generated current) and free-carrier absorption (which does not contribute to current generation and thus represents a loss mechanism).
