Solargis

Overview

Solargis supplies the solar resource data that projects are financed on, and the software to use it: Solargis Prospect covers site screening, fixed-tilt and tracker energy modelling, bifacial gain from albedo data, spectral and soiling corrections, project comparison and pre-feasibility economics. Pricing is public on the site, with Basic at €2,400 a year for up to five users and 500 new projects, Professional at €4,800 for ten users and 1,000 projects, and Enterprise negotiated for large portfolios. A separate Solargis Evaluate subscription at €12,000 a year targets early-stage portfolios with 15-minute time series and multi-decade history. Data resolution is stated at 250 m by 250 m, and outputs and reports are available in more than fifteen languages.

Editorial verdict

The published price is the differentiator: €2,400 to design a handful of C&I projects a year against competitors who quote on request makes budgeting straightforward, and the comparison is on capability rather than sales effort. The data history and stated 250 metre resolution are the substance behind the price, and albedo-based bifacial modelling is what utility-scale work needs. A buyer should decide whether they need Prospect for design or Evaluate for time series, because the €12,000 tier is a different purchase with a different justification. Enterprise terms are negotiated for portfolios. A solid default for developers and EPCs working across several markets from one team.
