You can find several free resources on solar radiation, such as photovoltaic potential and solar resource maps. Although these maps give useful information, they are much lower resolution than our data products, and more importantly, they don’t give any indication on the distribution of radiation values. We believe that getting the full picture of your solar resource is essential for assessing your profitability and it’s well worth the investment.

[tab title=”Basic”]You give us the latitude and longitude, and we provide access to our summary data products for your chosen site. Direct Normal Irradiance (DNI), Diffuse Horizontal Irradiance (DHI) and Global Horizontal Irradiance (GHI) statistics are all included. The data product also includes histograms, averaged resource charts (monthly, hourly and annual) and other useful information for your site.[/tab]
[tab title=”Validation”]Using RETScreen ® together with Turquoise Solar Basic, we can prepare a validation report for a quote you received from an installer. The validation results include electricity production estimates and a basic financial analysis.[/tab]
[tab title=”Premium”]For a more advanced analysis, our premium data product gives you access to hourly time series data for DNI, DHI and GHI covering the period of 2000-2009 for any location in Ontario. These are the most detailed datasets available. This product also includes Solar Basic.[/tab]

We can also customize our services based on your specific needs. Our expertise in solar resource assessment, financial analysis and Geographical Information Systems (GIS) can be combined in many creative ways to help you make the best decisions. Here are some of the specific tasks we can help with:

• Creating GIS data layers which can be seamlessly integrated with your in-house analysis tools
• Pre-feasibility and feasibility analysis support services using our own software tools as well as industry standard applications such as RETScreen and HOMER.
• Financial simulation for projecting your expected revenue from your solar investment
