Loading Solar Analytica
A serious energy decision travels a long way: from the shape of a market, down to the product you buy, down to the hardware on the roof. Solar Analytica is not one website but three, each reading the same evidence at a different altitude, so the answer holds at every height. This is how the network fits together.
Read top to bottom, the network descends from the widest view to the narrowest. Each altitude answers one question at one scale.
What is energy doing at scale, and what does it mean for a decision years out?
Reports, market data and projections that read the climate and the market the hardware runs in. The altitude a portfolio, an investor or a policymaker actually needs.
Of the things you could actually buy, which is measurably best?
Manufacturer-neutral scorecards for panels, batteries and inverters, derived mechanically from published datasheets under a published rubric. Inclusion is a datasheet, not a relationship.
How do you work with the hardware in front of you?
The working reference: field guides, fault-code libraries and calculators for the job at hand. Where the market view and the product score become the wrench in your hand.
Anyone can run three websites. What makes these one instrument is that they share a substrate and a standard, so a reading taken at one altitude means the same thing at the next.
All three read the same evidence layer: NASA and NOAA climate records, AEMO and market data, manufacturer datasheets, retail tariffs. A number does not change meaning as it moves between altitudes.
Every figure names its source, nothing is modelled where it can be measured, and no coverage, score or placement is ever for sale. The discipline is identical whether the subject is a market or a module.
The properties are operated by the same company, and that is stated plainly wherever it matters. Neutrality is a method held in the open, not a claim made in a footer.
Because the three altitudes share one substrate, a single question can be answered across all of them at once. That is askwatt.ai: ask in plain language, and it answers from the combined evidence of the whole network, every figure named to its source, then points you to the report, scorecard or tool it drew the answer from.
Answers, sourced. A plain-language answer with every figure traced to its named public source: the network's one standard, applied to a question.
Routes to the property. Never a dead end. Each answer links to the underlying Solar Analytica report, review.solar scorecard or wattbench tool.
Reads all three altitudes. The market view, the product lens and the applied bench, queried together, so you need not know which one to start at.
The altitudes are not three audiences; they are three stages of the same choice. A single project descends through all of them.
Where is a solar kilowatt worth most once the climate and the tariff are priced in? The compound trajectory says the sunniest market is rarely the most valuable. You choose where to build.
Now, of the panels and batteries you could actually buy for that site, which measures best in its class? The scorecards decide the hardware, on the datasheet, not the sales pitch.
The gear is on the roof. What does that fault code mean, how should the array be oriented, what will it really yield? The bench answers the question in front of you.
The product altitude: scorecards for panels, batteries and inverters, class champions, and the Signals desk. Open to everyone, free, no login.
The applied altitude: field guides, fault-code libraries and calculators for working with the hardware in front of you. The bench where the analysis becomes the job.
Staying at the market view? The reports and the methodology behind them are the place to start, and two show the altitude at work: the TBx Capture Index and the annual State of the Solar Climate.
