Case Study: Convergent Energy + Power achieves bankable solar-plus-storage project confidence with Solargis and GroundWork

Site adaptation of high resolution satellite data using ground-based measurements

Convergent Energy + Power, a leading energy storage provider, needed highly accurate solar resource data to assess the financial viability of a complex solar-plus-storage project in Puerto Rico. The region's tropical climate and high resource variability posed a challenge that low-frequency satellite data and a lack of ground measurements could not adequately address. To overcome this, they turned to the vendor Solargis for a site-specific resource assessment.

Solargis collaborated with GroundWork to implement a solution that combined high-resolution satellite data with on-site ground measurements. This provided Convergent with a bankable report featuring minimal uncertainty and reliable resource estimates. The results reduced operational uncertainty, led to better revenue generation, and improved financial modeling, allowing Convergent to focus its efforts on financially viable projects. This successful collaboration has paved the way for an ongoing relationship with Solargis for Convergent's future project pipeline.
