As renewable energy sources become a more important part of our electricity generation mixes, the analysis of weather patterns when estimating the value of an asset becomes empirical.

Synertics PPA Evaluation Tool allows you to use weather data to define the value of assets according to the assets' technology and location-specific available renewable resources.
