How NOAA's Potential Budget Cuts Could Impact Solar & How to Stay Ahead ????????’?? ??????????????????? Recent reports indicate that so-called “DOGE staffers” may have entered the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) headquarters. While the specific details remain unclear, there are mentions of potential budgetary changes or shifts in policy focus. ?????? ???? ?????????????? ?????? ??????????: NOAA’s climate and weather data play a key role in solar energy planning. Reliable forecasts help determine ideal installation sites, estimate energy production, and guide investors’ decisions. If NOAA’s resources are adjusted, solar projects could face: ?????????????? ???????? ????????????????????????: Less funding may mean fewer climate research initiatives. ?????????????????? ????????????: Limited data can slow technology development and project timelines. ???????????????? ????????????????????:?Uncertainty about data reliability often impacts lending and funding decisions. ?????????????????? ?????????? ?????? ?????? ?????????? ????????????: ? ?????????????????? ???????? ??????????????:?Consider private weather file provider and academic partnerships. (At Solesca, for example, we offer an API connection for developers, enabling quick retrieval of SolarAnywhere data. We’re also in the process of integrating Solargis and Solcast, a DNV company, ensuring a wide range of quality data points for reliable solar assessments.) ? ???????????????? ?????? ???????? ?????? ??????????????????:?Keeping an offline repository of weather information ensures you’re not solely reliant on any one platform’s real-time updates. (At Solesca, we downloaded the most up-to-dat NCEI file, so our developer partners can access the latest information without worrying about sudden shifts in public data access.) ? ???????????????????? ???????????????? ????????????????????????????:?Engage with universities and independent labs to maintain a steady flow of climate insights. ? ???????????????? ?????? ??????????????:?Communicate with policymakers and industry groups about the importance of comprehensive weather data. ? ???????????? ???????? ????????????????????:?Stay prepared for possible shifts in policy or market conditions by planning for multiple scenarios. Adopt flexible models and explore energy storage or diversified locations to mitigate uncertainty. (Energy Toolbase provides a fast and easy way for developers to kick start their battery storage offerings.) #DOGE #NOAA #FEMA #TheWhiteHouse

In solar design, more panels don’t mean better results – smarter planning does. Some projects have strict consumption limits, while others need to hit just the right size for tax incentives to pay off. Solesca lets you set DC or AC limits to design a project that fits your exact needs – nothing more, nothing less. #PVdesign #solardesign #solartech #cleantech

Energy Toolbase is revolutionizing the solar industry with their ??ETB Controller??, a cutting-edge energy storage control software that maximizes performance and streamlines operations. Now, with their seamless integration with Solesca, solar developers can effortlessly design projects and calculate financials, creating a smoother workflow than ever before. ?? Check out their recent spotlight, including their partnership with Sol-Ark battery systems, and see why ETB Controller is the gold standard in energy storage control: https://buff.ly/3E2jdha #batterystorage #solardesign #energyetorage #cleanenergy

Say final goodbyes to the old alignment algorithm – it’s out. Welcome the future: CAD-accurate alignment with: ? Multi-frame precision ? Align-to-edge ? Draw-to-align? ? Max DC/AC value #renewableenergy #solardesign #solarpower

Let’s be real: You’ve got better things to do than play detective with your projects. ?? Use the snazzy “People” chip filter to quickly find the projects you need. ?? Assign project owners right in the data table – no more “whose job is this?” drama. #renewableenergy #solardesign #solarpower #solar #solartech

Pine Gate Renewables is turning heads with a massive solar project in northern Oregon - six 200 MWac blocks, 4 million 610W modules, and a total capacity of 2.4 GWdc. When pv magazine USA speculated on how this project might perform, we couldn’t resist jumping in to see if the numbers stack up! At Solesca, we specialize in pre-CAD modeling for projects of any scale. Here’s what we found: ? What Solesca Found: Using the proposed 2.4 GWdc setup (Yes, Solesca can handle projects this large!) and VSUN 610W modules paired with a Power Electronics inverter (as shown at the end of Exhibit B of the project description), we ran the math for July 15, the project’s peak performance month. Here’s how it shakes out: ? DC Gross Production: Over 25 GWh (meanwhile, January is just chilling at 5 GWh). ? AC Clipping: With a 1.2 GWac limit, this will accumulate nearly 10GWh, more than the 7.2GWh of storage available. ?? Battery Power Flex: ? The battery starts pitching in at 6:30 PM, fully taking over by 8:30 PM, with 5.6 GWh still in the tank. ? That reserve keeps the power flowing at 1.2 GWac for 4.5+ hours, pushing clean energy into the grid until 1 AM local time.And here’s a fun fact for the energy nerds: 2.4 GWdc with a 1.25 LR churns out over 4 TWh annually. That’s a lot of sunlight doing a lot of work. ?? Big Takeaway: Pine Gate isn’t just seeing the future – they’re building it. Pairing large-scale solar with battery storage is how we power through the night. Major kudos to their team for this bold vision – and to John Fitzgerald Weaver for sparking the conversation.
