Worshipping the sun
3TIER, one of the world’s largest independent providers of assessment and forecasting of renewable energy, has released what it calls the first comprehensive, contiguous and high-resolution solar map for the entire Western Hemisphere.
To produce this map, 3TIER says it developed a dataset about three times the resolution of existing industry solar data standards for the U.S.
Kenneth Westrick, 3TIER CEO and founder of the Seattle-based company, says the product is unique because it allows policy-makers, developers and financiers to quickly identify their solar renewable energy potentials.
“This is the first and only database of the solar resource that covers all of North, Central and South America,” Westrick said. “Not many organizations have the expertise and super-computing resources to synthesize such massive amounts of historical satellite data or a tool like 3TIER’s FirstLook to present the data in a simple and elegant way.”
So, take a look to see whether you live in a sunny spot.
A clickable solar map is available online for free through the FirstLook Prospecting™ tool at http://firstlook.3tiergroup.com/solar.
