In the energy industry, weather is both your greatest ally and your greatest risk. A sudden storm, unexpected icing, or even underperforming panels can shift outcomes in moments. What if you had a way to see these risks before they impacted your operations?
That’s the promise of the OpenWeather Energy Dashboard. Purpose-built for solar and wind professionals, it transforms climate data into insights you can act on.
Look ahead with high-accuracy solar and wind forecasts tailored to each site
Stay alert with early warnings for storms, icing, and downtime risks
See the whole picture with an interactive portfolio map showing every asset’s status at a glance
Plan smarter with 46+ years of historical data and long-range forecasts to guide investment decisions
Optimize performance by detecting underperforming solar panels before losses add up
Challenges
Unpredictable Weather Disruptions
Problem: Storms, icing, and heat can disrupt operations or damage assets.
Solution: Energy Dashboard provides real-time risk scores and alerts to help you act early.
Inaccurate or Generalised Forecasting
Problem: Generic forecasts miss site-specific conditions.
Solution: We use tailored irradiance and wind data for more accurate energy planning.
Inefficient Maintenance Scheduling
Problem: Without weather context, field visits can be risky or wasted.
Solution: Get location-specific risk insights to plan safer, smarter tasks.
Undetected Performance Loss
Problem: Dust, tilt, or clouds can quietly reduce output.
Solution: Live metrics and deviation tracking help catch issues early.
Specialists
Energy Operations Managers
