Abstract:
The present invention is an apparatus and method of forecasting solar energy irradiance potential and subsequent photovoltaic output in a region. The apparatus and method includes collecting meteorological data for a given region and then estimating irradiance levels using parameters collected from the meteorological data. Solar energy production is then simulated using the collected meteorological data, estimated irradiance levels, and physical characteristics of a solar generating system in the given region at a predetermined time.

Claim (Index 2):
The method of  claim 1 , wherein the image sensor is a shadowband-less fixed camera using a Si-based sensor or other lower energy photon sensors.
