Global market for solar forecasting to reach $80bn by 2030

MELBOURNE, Australia, Dec. 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Dr. Julian de Hoog, honorary research fellow at the University of Melbourne and the CEO of Solstice AI, has published a report on the millions of dollars lost by solar farms, rooftop solar installations, VPPs and energy traders due to inaccurate weather forecasting. The data shows that Australian solar installations are losing hundreds of millions of dollars every year, solar operators have a poor understanding of cloud cover, and the global opportunity for better forecasting technology will reach $80bn by 2030. 

Solstice AI is a climate startup that graduated from the same Energy Lab cohort as The National Renewable Network and Conry Tech. The company uses artificial intelligence to identify rooftop solar panel location, orientation and capacity across extended regions, combined with cloud movement forecasts to predict solar generation with a high degree of accuracy. This can help stakeholders in the solar / energy ecosystem make more accurate price bids, avoid forecast error penalties like Frequency Performance Payments (FPP), maximise their yields, take advantage of price spikes caused by unexpected cloud cover, and manage their exposure to market volatility.   

Key findings in the new report include: 

• Solstice AI estimates that large regions throughout Australia have ~10% more solar capacity than is recorded in official Government databases like CER and DER – used by the likes of AEMO, NEM and energy traders (based on a Solstice AI study in Queensland)
• Cloud forecast data is poorly understood and implemented in the Australian solar ecosystem. Many stakeholders use generic cloud cover forecasts, but lack a deeper understanding of cloud height, thickness, temperature, movement, moisture content and local geography, which can have a major impact on solar generation
• Across all Australian utility scale solar farms, just a 10% improvement in weather / solar forecasting accuracy would generate an extra $38 million per year in profit. Worldwide, this figure is $9.5bn 
• Battery energy storage systems make a disproportionate amount of revenue during extreme price spikes. In just one week (2% of the year) battery energy storage systems can generate more than a third (36%) of their annual revenue. The annual value of improved solar forecasting for these providers is in the hundreds of millions of dollars every year
• Solstice AI believes the global solar forecasting opportunity by 2030 on the order of AU$80 Billion per year or more, growing quickly in line with accelerating global solar energy growth

“It’s no exaggeration to say that solar has already reshaped the Australian energy system, but this is just the tip of the iceberg,” said Julian De Hoog, Solstice AI founder. “The financial cost of forecasting failure is already in the billions, and will reach 80bn by 2030. Every single stakeholder in the solar ecosystem can benefit from better forecasting. For solar farms, it’s a route to maximising yield and market revenue. For traders and gentailers, it’s an essential part of managing their portfolio’s exposure to solar volatility. Market operators like AEMO need to balance supply and demand, and VPPs need to aggregate and coordinate thousands of rooftop systems. The technology coming to market today can transform solar from a variable resource into a predictable and manageable component of the energy system — a foundational requirement for the renewable energy transition.”

ABOUT SOLSTICE AI

Solstice AI is an artificial intelligence company on a mission to be the world’s leading solar energy generation forecast provider. It helps energy utilities, traders, and solar generation asset owners increase profits and manage their risk – in an energy market increasingly impacted by variable solar energy. Its state-of-the-art technology identifies solar generation in the region, including solar panel orientation and capacity. It also forecasts how much solar power will be generated, by accurately forecasting cloud movement and attributes, which are major factors in solar generation. By combining the two products, Solstice AI can forecast the output of individual sites, or the aggregate output of all solar PV (including all small-scale rooftop solar PV) of an entire region, such as a state or a country.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark., Dec. 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — The Winthrop Rockefeller Foundation (WRF) has completed a series of key leadership decisions that fortify its governance, operational continuity, and long-term mission trajectory. With the future direction clarified and executive leadership secured, the Foundation enters 2026 with strengthened alignment and renewed confidence in its ability to drive generational impact across Arkansas.

In recent months, the WRF Board has demonstrated a collective resolve rooted in trust, clarity, and shared purpose. Through thoughtful deliberation, principled stewardship, and an unwavering commitment to the Foundation’s founding values, board members have converged around a unified vision for what comes next. This cohesion has not been accidental—it reflects a governance culture that prioritizes transparency, thoughtful succession, and the belief that leadership is not merely positional, but directional.

The Board’s engagement throughout this process has been characterized by the spirit of positivity and forward motion. This clarity of leadership sends an unmistakable signal to partners and investors across Arkansas: the Foundation is not shifting course — it remains focused on the future. These leadership decisions—affirmed by the Board of Directors—reflect the Foundation’s ongoing commitment to ensuring that its structure, stewardship, and strategic capacity match the scale of its mission. The Board has finalized the identification of its next Chief Executive Officer and selected two additional leaders for service on the Board, reinforcing the Foundation’s depth of expertise and broadening its ability to accelerate statewide opportunity.

“The Winthrop Rockefeller Foundation stands on more than five decades of possibility-thinking,” said Cedric Williams, Board Chair of the Winthrop Rockefeller Foundation. “By strengthening our leadership infrastructure, we are not merely preparing for the future — we are building it. Arkansas deserves institutions that evolve with courage, clarity, and conviction, and WRF remains steadfast in that charge. Our leadership alignment ensures that we remain laser-focused on expanding opportunity for ALICE families across Arkansas — the hardworking residents who power our communities yet remain constrained by systems that were never designed with them in mind. Their resilience fuels our resolve. This is how we honor Governor Rockefeller’s charge — not with rhetoric, but with results.”

As part of this leadership alignment, Dr. Sherece West-Scantlebury shared reflections on the Foundation’s journey and future trajectory: “It has been one of the greatest honors of my professional life to serve the people of Arkansas through the Winthrop Rockefeller Foundation,” said Dr. Sherece West-Scantlebury, outgoing Chief Executive Officer. “From my first day, I understood that this role was never about a title — it was about the trust, tenacity, and transformative possibility at the heart of this institution. Our team has worked with urgency and conviction to expand economic mobility and dismantle barriers that hold ALICE families back. Their resilience has shaped my leadership and sharpened our mission. As I complete my tenure, I do so with pride in what we have built and confidence in what comes next. The Foundation’s leadership alignment reflects both continuity and courage — a readiness to meet Arkansas’s challenges with innovation, integrity, and impact. WRF’s next chapter is not a departure from its past, but an acceleration of its promise. Leadership is temporary. The mission is not.”

Because of this alignment, WRF can now execute with the precision and pace this moment demands. With leadership now unified, the Foundation is positioned to:

• Advance long-term priorities that expand opportunity and strengthen community well-being.
• Deepen partnerships with public, private, and philanthropic allies across Arkansas.
• Invest in systems-level solutions that create measurable, equitable impact.
• Support the vision, innovation, and resilience of Arkansas leaders shaping the state’s future.

This moment represents an organizational turning point — one grounded not in transition, but in strategic readiness. The Foundation’s governance, leadership, and strategy are now calibrated for the work ahead, ensuring that Governor Winthrop Rockefeller’s enduring belief in possibility continues to fuel statewide transformation.

WALLA WALLA, Wash., Dec. 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Amidst increasing pressure for the water sector to finance capital improvements, Perca, Inc. provides a proven alternative using an unlikely partner – earthworms. The company’s proprietary DrilO2 vermifiltration system addresses the industry’s challenge, offering a sustainable and low-cost solution to wastewater treatment.

Due to their reliance on high energy-input machinery and chemical supplementation, traditional wastewater treatment plants often require significant initial investment and maintain high operational expenses. Perca’s DrilO2 system combats these challenges by leveraging the naturally occurring biological processes of earthworms and other microbes. This low-energy, gravity-driven approach minimizes the need for complex infrastructure and dramatically lowers ongoing operational and maintenance costs.

Geraldine Case, Perca’s Research & Development Manager explains:

“Water utilities are caught between aging infrastructure and tightening budgets, making large-scale upgrades a significant hurdle. Our DrilO2 system is designed to break that cycle. By offering a solution that is both highly effective and economically viable, we can help communities meet regulatory standards without incurring prohibitive costs.”

The system’s value extends beyond initial savings. Its streamlined operation reduces the need for constant oversight and costly chemical supplementation, providing utilities with extended financial benefit and operational consistency. Using natural processes, the DrilO2 vermifiltration system is able to reduce carbon emissions typically associated with excess energy use and chemical supplementation of traditional wastewater treatment methods.

Dr. George Damoff, Chief Science Officer at Perca, adds,

“We have engineered a system that works in harmony with nature to deliver superior water quality. The result is a smaller physical and financial footprint compared to conventional methods. This makes advanced wastewater treatment accessible to a wider range of municipalities, including those that may have previously found it financially out of reach.”

By offering a budget-friendly and expandable approach to upgrading wastewater systems, Perca is establishing itself as a critical ally for water utilities and their clients aiming to achieve environmental sustainability, financial management, and pave the way towards a cleaner, greener future.
