Case Study: Apex Clean Energy improves solar project performance with Solargis data

Solargis provides data for Apex Clean Energy’s 10GW U.S. solar portfolio

apex clean energy, a leading independent power producer in the U.S., faced challenges integrating advanced solar technologies like bifacial modules and storage into its portfolio. A lack of high-quality albedo and sub-hourly time series data was hampering project performance and design. To address this uncertainty and improve operational efficiency, apex clean energy turned to Solargis for a solution.

Solargis provided its high-resolution albedo data and granular 1- and 5-minute time series data. This enabled apex clean energy to design bifacial projects more effectively and optimize the operation of its storage assets for better grid integration. The outcome was significantly improved operational efficiency, reduced resource risk, and more seamless battery operations across their 10GW solar portfolio.
