Renewable Energy Resource Measurement

Unlocking Saudi Arabia’s renewable energy potential begins with precise energy resource evaluation. At Dar Massader, we deliver time-tested solutions for wind, solar, and offshore energy resource measurements, empowering developers and project owners with data-driven insights for informed decision-making. 

Wind Energy Resource Assessment

Harnessing the power of wind requires a precise evaluation of the site’s potential. Dar Massader conducts wind energy measurements across the Kingdom, employing industry-standard methodologies to obtain a reliable and bankable estimate of the site’s annual energy production (AEP).
We combine short-term on-site measurements with long-term satellite-derived data to provide low-uncertainty projections. These projections enable optimized financial planning and faster project returns. Our Services Include:

Deployment of high-precision sensors for wind speed and direction monitoring.
Installation of wind measurement towers, supported by locally sourced structures, foundations, and civil accessories.
Routine calibration and maintenance to ensure data reliability and bankability.
Allocation of in-country teams, facilities, and resources to execute dedicated measurement campaigns across the Kingdom.

Solar Energy Resource Measurement

Solar energy holds vast promise for Saudi Arabia, and we deliver tailored measurement solutions to realize this potential. Our solar resource evaluations consider site-specific conditions to provide accurate performance projections for utility-scale solar installations.

Customized Design Consultation: Collaborating closely with developers, we create measurement systems tailored to specific project needs.
Procurement of Equipment: We source high-quality sensors, data loggers, mounting assemblies, and other essential components for seamless project execution.
Installation & Commissioning: From setup to calibration, we ensure proper installation and integration of all measurement systems.
Data Monitoring & Reporting: Our systems ensure continuous and accurate solar irradiance measurements, enabling precise long-term modeling.

Offshore Wind Resource Measurement

Pioneering offshore wind energy in Saudi Arabia, Dar Massader together with RPS offers specialized and turnkey solutions to measure offshore wind resources as well as supplementary Metocean and Marine biology monitoring.

Our Floating LiDAR Solution is a market-leading system designed exclusively for offshore wind energy. It has achieved Stage 2 System Maturity under the Carbon Trust (CT) Offshore Wind Accelerator (OWA) Roadmap, demonstrating its reliability in offshore wind energy assessments. We are actively progressing toward Stage 3 certification, further augmenting the system’s performance and accuracy

Key Features of Our Offshore Services:

Turnkey Delivery: We handle supply, installation, data monitoring, and maintenance.
High Accuracy & Autonomy: Floating LiDAR systems provide reliable measurements while operating independently.
Eco-Friendly Design: Ensuring minimal impact on marine life and sub-sea ecology.
