Renewable energy
Build the assessment on site observations.
THE SOLUTION
Solar measurement stations and campaign support provide a documented basis for understanding irradiance and weather conditions.
The agreed scope identifies equipment configuration, field activities, records and reporting needs. Share your site, timing and assessment objectives so the team can define the right deliverables.
PROCUREMENT CLARITY
| Requirement | What to establish |
|---|---|
| Objective | Solar measurement stations and campaign support provide a documented basis for understanding irradiance and weather conditions. |
| Delivery scope | Solar station configuration and installation; Pyranometers, pyrheliometers and tracking systems; Instrument care and recalibration coordination; Resource and energy yield assessment |
| Technical basis | The station, instruments and maintenance plan are selected to match the assessment objectives and site conditions. |
| Quotation inputs | Site and country, project stage, objective, dates, equipment preferences and available specifications. |
| Handover basis | Agree the applicable configuration, installation, maintenance, data and reporting records before deployment. |

BUILT AROUND YOUR REQUIREMENTS
Define the decision the resource observations must support, including observation variables, instrument siting, site conditions and assessor-specified requirements. Agree how installation records, instrument information, data checks and the intended assessment will be connected.
Development and assessment teams.
The agreed assignment defines which activities and deliverables are included.
Share the site or facility, country, project stage, objective, available specifications and expected timing. The team can then discuss equipment, field activities or technical-review needs relevant to solar resource assessment.
TECHNICAL BASIS
For resource assessment, define global horizontal irradiance (GHI), direct normal irradiance (DNI) and diffuse horizontal irradiance (DHI) as required by the project. ISO 9060:2018 describes classification and specifications for relevant solar-radiation instruments. IEC 61724-1:2021 addresses PV-system performance monitoring; it is not a blanket certification for a pre-development solar resource campaign. Agree sensor calibration, siting, cleaning, acquisition and QA/QC requirements for the intended use.
