In this document

You'll learn how the Data & services page is organised and how to work with it: the Solargis data tab and what each data source may offer, the Imported data tab for your own terrain data, the Solargis services tab listing on-request services, and the steps for activating add-on data on your project.

The Data & services page lets you view and set your project data sources, its dataset add-ons, and request additional data or services. It consists of three main tabs: Solargis data, Imported data, and Solargis services.

This document describes the page and how to use it. To learn what each add-on and service actually provides and how to activate/request it, see Evaluate add-ons and data source updates. For an introduction to all six sections of the project navigation menu, see Working with Evaluate projects.

Solargis data tab

This tab includes the data sources available for your project. Based on availability, each data source may offer:

  • Activation of uncertainty data.

  • Activation of additional data add-ons (TMY Pxx).

  • Activation of high-resolution data (1-minute TS data).

  • Project data updates.

Tip: If you want to explore the data source and what datasets it includes, expand the data source accordion. Based on availability, the dataset may offer activations of uncertainty data, TMY Pxx datasets, or high temporal resolution data (1-min TS data).

Imported data tab

This tab shows the data you have imported to your project. Here you can:

  • Import your own terrain data.

  • Request terrain data consultancy.

The import procedure is described in Evaluate custom terrain imports.

Solargis services tab

This tab shows the available on-request Solargis services. The on-request services are listed in the tab and can be filtered by topic. They include:

  • Site Adaptation of Solargis Model Data

  • Quality Control of Ground Measurements

  • Harmonization of Ground Measurements

  • Ground Surface Albedo Time Series

  • Site Adaptation of Ground Surface Albedo Time Series

  • Spatial and Temporal Evaluation of Ground Surface Albedo

  • Evaluation of PV energy yield

  • Historical Forecast

  • Consultancy Support for Complex Photovoltaic Projects

  • Site Assessment of Soiling losses
