Abstract
A method may include obtaining historical irradiance data for each of a first and second locations, each of the first and the second locations including first and second solar power generating devices respectively, and forecasting irradiance at the first and the second locations as a first and a second forecast respectively. The method may also include determining a first and a second confidence interval of the first and the second forecasts respectively, the first and the second confidence interval based on the first historical irradiance data and the first forecast and the second historical irradiance data and the second forecast respectively, and modeling covariance between the first and the second confidence intervals. Based on the modeled covariance, the method may include developing an aggregated forecast of irradiance, and sending a message to a device to modify power generation.
