Sheffield Solar Microgen Database closing

#1

Post by dan_b »

The Sheffield University Solar Microgen Database, which has been running since 2011 and providing generation capacity data and forecasting information, is closing. I've been submitting my monthly readings to them for the last 9 years, basically since I got my SolarPV in the first place, but I got an email today informing me of its imminent closure.

Seems they've run out of funding to keep the server online and the database and website code up to date.

Bit of a shame.

Great pity. More (yet another) loss of Regional activity and employment... I bet London-based apps aren't losing funding
