In 2010, First Solar developed and used Terabase PlantPredict as its utility-scale PV energy modeling platform in the United States. Terabase PlantPredict served as First Solar’s internal and bankable prediction engine to support project engineering, lifecycle performance forecasting and financing workflows during the First Solar era.
The Terabase PlantPredict deployment centered on 2D/3D Simulation capabilities, delivering irradiance and terrain modeling, shading and horizon analysis, module and array layout simulation, electrical yield modeling, and lifecycle performance forecasting. These functional modules were configured to produce bankable generation estimates and to support engineering decisions for utility-scale PV projects.
Operational coverage for PlantPredict was focused on First Solar’s U.S. utility-scale business, with usage by project engineering, development and finance teams to inform design, underwriting and long-term performance assumptions. The platform operated as an internal prediction engine that was publicly launched while under First Solar ownership, and it remained the company’s bankable forecasting tool prior to acquisition by Terabase Energy.
Governance emphasis for the Terabase PlantPredict implementation included model validation and verification processes to satisfy bankable reporting requirements and to align engineering outputs with financing needs. First Solar’s stewardship during rollout prioritized consistent performance forecasting practices across engineering and finance functions, preserving the prediction engine’s credibility through the handoff that accompanied the Terabase Energy acquisition.
