Focus Solar
Knowledge for the Smart Investor
At Focus Solar, we master the art of solar resource estimation. That's the study of how much energy is provided by the sun under different weather conditions. The use of satellite earth observations has brought a whole new dimension to solar resource assessment. Solar home systems and solar power plants can now be planned, operated, and optimized with the support of high-tech instruments from NASA's weather satellites.

An investment of several thousand dollars for a residential solar system should be well prepared. What is the yield and payback time? Do you have an accurate estimate? Reliable information is the foundation for a sound investment. We offer independent and trustworthy assessments for your location. Our reports quantify the expected energy yield in annual kWh. No expensive sensors are required. For existing systems, we offer a performance assessment. You will find out whether or not your system is working properly. Does your system deliver the expected yield? You can verify that you get the true value of your investment returned. Of interest to: |
Geographic location is one important factor for the cost-effectiveness of large-scale solar power plants. Where should the plant be built? Which tilt and orientation are optimal for your location? We offer professional guidance on suitable locations, yield assessments, and yield optimization. Rather than applying rules of thumb, the yield is computed scientifically based on satellite observations. Our long-term archive and near real-time data provide a sound basis for decisions. Solar maps show microclimates. A yield maximization analysis gives the optimum installation angles. Solar data can also be implemented into your applications. Of interest to: |
Quality assurance, market trends, and new developments are important topics for solar. Where can I exchange ideas with others? Where can I get informed? What's happening in other countries? We offer a forum for solar enthusiasts to get and stay in touch with one another. Tell your experience and express your opinion. You can describe your solar system and present it to the community. The PV performance database supports decision making for the educated consumer. Search for the best installers in your neighborhood. Check the performance results of real-world PV systems and compare product brands. Of interest to: |
