Recording from Wednesday, February 18, 2026 | Solar Quality Summit | Language: English | Duration: 73:49 .
Advances in artificial intelligence are transforming how the solar industry predicts weather, generation, and grid behavior. This session brings together leading research and applied innovations, with a spotlight on recent advances in the Supernova project. We will review the latest model developments from Google, NVIDIA, and the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) and examine how these breakthroughs are reshaping short- and medium-term weather forecasting. The session will also feature: AI models for day-ahead irradiance forecasting, Ensemble models for probabilistic PV forecasting, Net load forecasting at the primary substation level (preliminary results), Day-ahead congestion forecasting for interzonal transmission lines (preliminary results).
Attendees will leave with insights into how cutting-edge AI models and the Supernova project are enhancing forecast accuracy, reducing uncertainty, and enabling more resilient solar and grid operations.
