Energy & Climate

Accurate climate data as basis for decision making

Based on our extensive climate databases, we deliver climate information, historical data series, typical meteorological years, climate assessments or information on the topic of climate change. We offer all forms of expertise on issues such as wind loads, odor dispersion, urban climate, storm and hail footprints, lightning frequencies or drought indices.

Our particular strengths are big data and data mining, extensive climate and weather databases as well as our skills in statistical analysis, interpolation, and in correlation of climate data with non-meteorological data. Finally our scientific reports are always well visualised and easily understandable.

Stories

A Centauri Quadrat

Meteotest helps aCentauri optimise their race strategy

Through our data, we enable aCentauri to determine the ideal speed and battery charge level of their solar race car along the race track. This gives the team a valuable advantage over the competition.

Nasa Satellite Square

Global radiation benchmark - Meteonorm is among the leaders

In the framework of IEA PVPS Task 16, a benchmark of different satellite and model-based radiation databases was carried out. The Meteonorm time series show good quality and are among the top performers.

Littau Afternoon Heat

Microclimatic modeling and analysis for Littau West

Meteotest modeled various variants of the planned Littau West development. This allowed the planning to be optimized with regard to heat.

Pv Thumb

«Oversize me»: Optimizing PV production

In order to achieve climate targets, renewables must be expanded rapidly. In the near future, electricity production from renewables will exceed the load. Either the electricity is stored for later use or the plants are shut down. In a new study, we calculated the optimum between curtailment and storage.

Ilhinfm Q

New Solar Bible Published

Planning and using a solar energy system requires reliable information about the solar resource. As a guide through the sometimes complex subject and the various data sources, the 3rd Edition of the "Best Practices Handbook for the Collection and Use of Solar Resource Data for Solar Energy Applications" has now been published.

Skycam Picture Main Page

CSEM and Meteotest open up their data to the scientific community

Researchers get access to a unique dataset on global irradiation and sky conditions collected at three sites in Switzerland. Scientists are now invited to develop their own AI algorithms to predict solar radiation, and potentially optimize solar-power generation systems.

Climate Analogues Coverbild 1920X1080Px

Climate Analogues - finding tomorrow's climate today

Mitigation matters – Meteotest and afca created a remarkable website demon-strating how much climate might change at any given place on Earth.

Sonnendach Zurich Square

City of Zurich can increase solar power by a factor of 7 by 2030

How much solar power can be produced on the roofs of the city of Zurich? Meteotest's experts have investigated this question.

Delemont Square

High resolution urban heat analysis

Climate change rises new demands on urban and area planning. On the basis of the innovative simulation model PALM-4U, Meteotest offers new high-resolution urban heat analyses. In Meteonorm, new urban heat cliamtologies are available.
