The Challenge is Accurate Weather Data for Energy Forecasting
Renewable Energy Variability
PHNXX relies on solar and wind energy, both of which are inherently variable. Predicting these fluctuations is critical for ensuring reliable power generation and efficient energy storage management.
Key Weather Metrics
To optimise energy generation, PHNXX needs accurate hyper-local data, including;
- Solar irradiance for panel efficiency.
- Wind speed and gusts for wind energy optimisation.
- Rainfall, frost, and dew thresholds for panel performance.
- Humidity, cloud cover, and storm information to anticipate generation dips.
Client-Focused Solutions
PHNXX aims to provide its clients with a Solar Output Dashboard, offering real-time and forecasted energy generation metrics based on panel capacity and site-specific weather conditions.
The Solution is Jane’s Weather API Integration
Through the Jane’s Weather API, PHNXX has access to hyper-local, AI-driven weather forecasts tailored to its renewable energy needs. The API provides critical weather variables will directly inform PHNXX’s energy modeling and customer dashboards.
