About SolarNowcasting

SolarNowcasting is the science of predicting solar conditions in the immediate future. At SolarNowcasting.com, we use geostationary satellite data and advanced AI models to forecast cloud movement, solar irradiance, and expected PV production in real time. Our goal is to make solar power as predictable and actionable as traditional forms of energy, on a 5-minute timescale.

Our Mission

We believe that energy systems of the future need real-time adaptability. Our mission is to accelerate the energy transition by giving grid operators and solar energy providers the tools to act confidently under rapidly changing weather conditions. Precision in the next 60 minutes is worth more than perfection tomorrow.

What We Do

We provide ultra short-term predictions of solar irradiance based on satellite imagery and cloud analysis. Our core services include:

• Real-time cloud tracking and movement prediction
• Forecasting solar irradiance and expected PV output (GW)
• API integration for energy trading, grid operations and solar park control

Technology & Innovation

Our system integrates data from a diverse array of orbital, atmospheric, and radiometric sources. These inputs, ranging from multi-band geostationary feeds to specialized irradiance indicators, are processed through a series of proprietary feature extraction and fusion modules. The forecasting engine combines statistical filtering, spatial transformation layers, and neural abstractions trained to capture latent solar dynamics. Each output is calibrated against evolving confidence maps and verified through multi-pass feedback logic. Everything is optimized for real-time operation at continental scale.

Use Cases

• ⚡ Transmission System Operators (e.g. TenneT) predicting congestion from solar ramps
• ☀️ Solar farm operators adjusting inverter strategies based on upcoming irradiance dips
• 📈 Traders receiving high-frequency updates for short-term PV forecast deltas on EPEX
