Solar hindcast models

Problem

Choosing a solar site takes more than the long-term average: how much output swings season to season and year to year matters just as much.

What I did

I built hindcast models in R that reconstruct past solar conditions over a long record, so variability could be studied over far more years than a site has measured.

Result

Variability and site-suitability analysis for prospective solar sites.
