SoDa provides historical, real-time, and forecast solar radiation and weather data services. Our solar radiation data services are derived from a method using images from Meteosat geostationary satellites. Historical solar radiation and weather data are used to assess the solar resource of a site. Archives time series are also used to produce Typical Meteorological Years which are a good indication for the production calculation of a solar power plant under study. TMYs can be used in PVSyst and SAM power generation simulation software.

SoDa is an access to many solar, meteorological, altitude, astronomical, and atmospheric services.
SoDa delivers solar radiation and meteorological data services for solar photovoltaic and thermal site prospection and electricity production monitoring and forecasting.
SoDa also provides spectral radiation services for agriculture and health domains.
