We kicked-off the SATRISE project!
The SATRISE journey started back in November 2025!
SATRISE is an European Space Agency - ESA-funded innovation project that brings together advanced Earth Observation satellite data and state-of-the-art 3D simulation to redefine how solar irradiance is estimated for photovoltaic (PV) systems. By combining Rayference’s CISAR algorithm with LuciSun’s GPU-based 3D modelling tool, LuSim, SATRISE aims to deliver unprecedented accuracy in solar resource assessment for complex PV applications such as bifacial PV, agrivoltaics, urban PV, and building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPV).
The Kick-Off meeting for our SATRISE project, was successfully held on November 4th, 2025, online.
During the meeting, we:
- Discussed the project’s objectives and requirements
- Outlined the project timeline and upcoming deliverables
- Discussed how to connect with other researchers working on similar topics
We are also grateful for the support of Universidad de Jaén and DTU - Technical University of Denmark, who are providing high-quality data to validate and strengthen our methods.
We are now eager to begin the next phase of SATRISE. A huge thank you to everyone who participated and contributed valuable insights and to all the stakeholders who support our project: Repsol, R&D Gonvarri, Eurac Research, European Energy, TSE, Photosol and Tecnalia.
