3TIER Global Wind and Solar Resource Data

They enable spatial analysis ranging from quick and simple to highly complex. "The wind or solar resource is the fuel of a renewable energy project," said Gwen Bender, product manager at 3TIER. "Having that information available spatially enables users to combine it with the other critical variables that affect the viability of a renewable energy site. Users can quickly hone in on the most promising locations, while also identifying potential red flags early in the process. This type of analysis is key to successfully siting wind and solar projects."
