Simulation-Ready Timeseries Data

We deliver highly accurate energy generation timeseries data for your solar and hybrid renewables simulations. Tomsawyer's simulation-ready datasets include:

Multi-source irradiance validation and temperature profiling

Historical timeseries instead of only TMY solar data

Location, equipment & design specific energy timeseries

Beyond hourly resolution for high-stake projects

System Configuration Modeling

Our proprietary simulation tools for high-resolution energy timeseries unlocks comprehensive solar PV planning by evaluating all possible equipment and configuration mixes:

Tracker vs. fixed-tilt evaluations

DC stringing, tilt, pitch, and DC/AC ratio optimization

Energy & cost matrix for hundreds of comparisions

Identify the project configuration having the highest return on investment and beat your competition

Layout Design

Site-adapted layouts for ground-mounted and rooftop solar:

Optimized PV stringing design for higher performance and lower cost

BESS & inverter siting

Land-use, terrain and other constraints via SRTM, satellite imagery and stakeholder inputs

Achieve high-quality layouts in CAD and PDF formats for planning discussions and approvals

Energy Yield Assessments

We conduct detailed energy modeling using PVsyst for optimized designs:

P50, TMY and historical energy timeseries simulations

Expert considerations for loss factors including soiling loss and electrical losses due to shading in complex urban environments

Get detailed comparison of energy yield and design

Energy Yield Assessments

Battery Storage Assessment

Solar-BESS pairing analysis

Optimal sizing recommendations and qualitative cost-benefit insight

Prevent wrong-sizing BESS and design profitable DC-coupled systems

How we work

From First Call to Bankable Outputs

Every engagement is scoped to your project. No templates, no generic reports.

1

Scope your project

You share your site coordinates, preliminary design assumptions, or a feasibility question you need answered before committing capital. We figure out what analysis will actually move your decision forward.

Typical inputs we work from

Site location and target capacity
Equipment shortlist or module/inverter preferences
Land boundaries, terrain constraints, grid connection specs
An existing design you want independently validated
2

We run the simulations

Multi-source irradiance validation, equipment and configuration sweeps across hundreds of scenarios, PVsyst energy modeling, and layout optimization. Not one design option. Hundreds.

Energy yield reports

Bankable P50, TMY, and historical timeseries simulations

Optimized layouts

Site-adapted designs in CAD and PDF, ready for planning submissions

Technology recommendations

Equipment and configuration mix with cost-benefit analysis and IRR impact

Go/no-go guidance

Clear trade-offs and bankable insights for confident investment decisions

3

Use the results, or go deeper

Most teams take the deliverables and move straight to financing or construction. Some come back for additional sites, storage sizing, or ongoing portfolio support.

Battery storage assessment

Solar-BESS pairing analysis, optimal sizing, DC-coupled system design

Multi-site portfolio analysis

Scale from one project to an entire development pipeline

API and software access

Integrate our TimeSeries engine and optimization tools into your own platforms

Retainer advisory

Ongoing technical support across your development portfolio
