Renewables.org
Nonprofit organization accelerating the adoption of solar energy
Renewables.org
uses OpenWeather data
to power dashboards that help solar project backers
understand how their funds are combating climate change globally. These dashboards combine
OpenWeather data with real-time information from the solar sites, providing an immersive
snapshot of the on-the-ground conditions at Renewables.org's project locations.
“When our project backers help build solar in India or Africa, we don’t want them to just trust
that we are putting their funds to good use”, said Renewables.org cofounder and CEO Lassor
Feasley. “We want to provide as much data as possible with the user so they can experience what
they enabled through their participation on our site.
In addition to conventional data like the weather, we are always looking at additional data that
OpenWeather provides. Solar irradiance and other parameters help enhance the consumer experience
and give our users a stronger sense of the change they’ve enabled through their participation on
Renewables.org".
