Expecting the unexpected is great advice but challenging in practice. The sudden onset and uncertain ramifications of crises are a part of reality, whether those involve a global pandemic or when geopolitical tensions escalate into open conflict. For energy providers with their fickle raw materials, the only way to manage uncertainty is a detailed and timely understanding of energy supply and demand. Mitigating the impact crisis situations have on critical infrastructure is essential to sustain households, industries, and entire economies. As an ever-growing part of the energy mix, this now also applies to solar energy.

With solar – due to its unique strengths and vulnerabilities like volatility – navigating disruptions requires energy stakeholders to harness predictive modelling technologies to understand energy output and the expected demand as the sun traverses the sky. Those are very different data sets, but ensuring energy continuity requires the collection, analysis and synthesis of both.
