HC3 Monitoring Demo

HelioClim-3 Monitoring demo

HelioClim-3 Monitoring Demo: to monitor and assess any of your solar asset

Limitations of this DEMO web service:
The time step is daily, while the subscription to the service allows from 1 minute to Monthly time steps.

HelioClim3 Monitoring service delivers daily short-term time series of irradiation from any of your assets. Each site can be retrieved once a day to maximize the monitoring with daily data.
Two options for this service: HC3 Monitoring RealTime that will make every new image from MSG0° satellite available in real time and HC3 Monitoring Historical that will open the full dataset available for a chosen asset.
About HC3v5 model, we enhance the native spatial resolution of MSG0° by computing inside a MSG pixel the irradiation variation due to the altitude and to the shadow of the horizon for a specific point. The relief used to compute the shadowing is obtained from the SRTM digital surface model, with a spatial resolution of ~100 meters. Aerosols Optical Depth are also considered.

The service provides global, direct and diffuse solar radiation for GHI, GTI (fixed tilted) and even trackers (1D/2D).

Meteorological database

Retrieve HC3 time series together with meteorological data in a single CSV file. Source of the Meteo Data: Merra-2 (NASA) from February 2004 up to approx. a month ago, GFS (NCEP) afterward. Just set to "True" the "Add meteo data" input parameter.
