Core Features
Solarintelligence.ai is structured around specialist AI agents, with each designed for a particular area of solar analysis. Users can choose an appropriate agent or use the platform's multi-agent capability for questions spanning several areas.
Solar Market Intelligence: Agents including Alex analyze installed PV capacity, market trends and forecasts, while Emma follows solar-industry news and developments. Results can include interactive charts and exportable data.
Prices and Manufacturer Analysis: Priya analyzes prices across the PV supply chain, including modules, polysilicon, wafers, cells and raw materials. Finn focuses on solar manufacturers' financial performance, including revenues, margins, shipments and R&D expenditure.
Policy and Regulatory Intelligence: Specialist agents interpret solar policy rather than simply retrieving documents. Current examples include Aniza, which focuses on Italy's Net-Zero Industry Act framework and auction requirements, and Nina, which examines NZIA rules and their effects on PV markets and project economics.
PV Design and Optimization: The platform extends beyond information retrieval into engineering applications. Groove, developed by Politecnico di Milano, optimizes utility-scale PV layouts by testing tilt and row-spacing combinations, while Aria supports rooftop BIPV layout design and financial modelling.
Financial and Storage Simulation: Vega models solar project metrics including IRR, NPV, LCOE, WACC, DSCR and payback. The Eco agent helps size PV-plus-battery systems using hourly energy simulations and financial analysis.
Specialist and Multi-Agent Analysis: Other agents address areas such as PV reliability, materials degradation, integrated PV and project lifecycle practices. Orion can break a complex question into tasks for several specialist agents and synthesize their findings, while users can escalate complex questions to human experts at the Becquerel Institute.
Closing Insights
The Becquerel Institute launched Solarintelligence.ai in November 2025, building the platform around its existing solar research, datasets and consulting expertise. Its development is notable because it is moving beyond a conventional AI interface for searching solar information. The growing agent catalogue includes tools that perform calculations, simulations and design tasks, with contributions from organizations including Politecnico di Milano, PCCL, Enerways and IEA PVPS Task 13 alongside Becquerel Institute's own agents.
This specialization is the platform's main differentiator. A general-purpose AI assistant may explain PV concepts, but Solarintelligence.ai is designed to connect conversational AI with curated solar datasets and domain-specific analytical models. Current applications range from investigating non-Chinese solar supply chains and regional markets to optimizing PV plants, modelling project economics and assessing BIPV and battery storage.
Access to the platform is available through a free Scout tier, while paid packages start from €99/month.
