At the Spinout Showcase, Dr Poddar presented our vision for the future of solar forecasting and how it can unlock greater value from next-generation photovoltaic technologies. Unlike conventional forecasting methods, our solution predicts the full spectral distribution of sunlight, enabling more accurate performance forecasts for advanced high-efficiency solar modules. By reducing forecasting uncertainty and capturing atmospheric effects such as aerosols and clouds, the technology has the potential to improve energy yield predictions and support smarter investment decisions. As solar technologies continue to evolve, spectral forecasting will play a critical role in maximising their value and accelerating the transition to renewable energy.
