The “Solar Radiation” product provides hourly forecasts for the next seven days, indicating the amount of solar energy received per unit area, measured in watts per square meter (W/m²). This information is crucial for the energy sector, particularly in the planning and optimization of solar energy systems such as photovoltaic panels.
Monitoring solar radiation allows for more precise forecasting of renewable energy generation, which is fundamental for maximizing production efficiency. With detailed data on solar radiation intensity, managers can adjust their operations to optimize energy capture, facilitating the integration of renewable sources into the energy matrix.
Additionally, analyzing solar radiation supports strategic decision-making related to sustainability and energy resource management, helping reduce costs and enhance the economic viability of solar energy projects. Understanding solar radiation patterns is also valuable for agriculture, urban planning, and outdoor activities, as it influences plant growth and weather conditions.
