Solar Project Feasibility

Quickly Explore Solar Resources Around the World

Save time and money by targeting the best locations for solar energy projects and infrastructure. 3TIER lets you quickly explore any location around the world directly from your computer. Now you can avoid problem sites and separate successful projects from marginal ones earlier in the process. Our on-demand, initial solar resource assessments are based on a consistent, global dataset so you can compare sites with confidence.

The First and Only Advanced Solar Dataset with Global Coverage

• Spatial resolution of ~3 km
• 12+ years of hourly GHI, DNI, and DIF
• Based on over a decade of satellite data with continual updates
• Validated and developed using widely recognized datasets worldwide
• Multiple delivery formats

Maximize Accuracy With State-of-the-Art Science

Direct measurements are the best way to record actual solar conditions and unique, localized effects at a site. However, it takes 10+ years to capture climatic variability, which can make or break a project financially, and few measurement campaigns have records extending that far back in time. To mitigate this risk, 3TIER uses on-site measurements to correct our long-term satellite data with advanced statistical techniques. The result is significantly reduced uncertainty about future project performance and the bankable production estimates required to secure project financing.

A Trusted Name in Solar

3TIER has completed solar resource assessment for several of the largest utility-scale projects currently in development around the world. We have performed feasibility studies on all 6 continents and in very challenging climates. In addition, 3TIER provided solar assessment for 100% of the CSP project applications submitted for the Australian Solar Flagships program.
