Solar Forecasting

Maximize Energy Yield. Improve Market Performance. Enhance Grid Visibility.

‍Leaptran’s solar forecasting solution enables utilities, ISOs, and power producers to make data-driven decisions across operations, planning, and market participation. Built on award-winning IP and field-validated by multiple utilities and grid operators, our platform offers unparalleled accuracy, scalability, and operational integration.

The Challenge

Utilities, grid operators, and solar asset owners face growing uncertainty from solar variability and intermittency. Traditional forecast models often:

Fail to capture rapid cloud transients or ramps
Lack location-specific resolution
Cannot support real-time dispatch or market optimization and participation

Leaptran solves these challenges with a hybrid AI + physics-based engine, delivering granular forecasts from minutes to days.

Our Technology

Leaptran combines proprietary machine learning models, advanced weather models, sky imagery, sensor data, and high-resolution numerical weather predictions to generate:

Nowcasts (0–6 hours): Updated every 1–15 minutes for real-time control and dispatch
Day-ahead & intraday forecasts: Optimized for market bidding and ISO submissions
Site-level to fleet-scale granularity: Customizable to fit distributed orutility-scale assets

Features include:

Multi-source data fusion (meters, sky camera, sensor, and inverter data feeds)
Ensemble model selection tuned for different weather conditions
Automated bias correction and anomaly detection
API or file-based forecast delivery (JSON, CSV, XML)

Deployment Options

Leaptran’s solar forecasting platform supports flexible deployment models:

API access or portal delivery
Direct integration with SCADA or EMS
Optional nowcasting module using on-site inverter telemetry or other sensors
ISO-ready formats and submission scheduling
