satelliteSAT

satelliteSAT — satellite-imagery-derived construction-progress dataset for US utility-scale solar: machine-learning analysis of thousands of imagery passes over every Lower-48 project of 50 MW and above (~350 tracked at the 2022 launch, later reported at 650+), with human verification, producing dated project milestones — firstDIRT groundbreaking day, panel and tracker delivery events, installation progress and completion — aggregated into project-, company- and industry-level series across three named products (solarSAT Summary, solarSAT Status Detail, firstDIRT Monthly Update). Adjacent data lines include utility-solar imagery, project and permit databases, panel-delivery data, regional output, storage datasets and forecasts.

Type: not stated
Format: Tabular project- and company-level datasets carrying dated milestone events, plus monthly summary report products; underlying imagery held as analysed scene collections; delivered as subscription research/dataset products rather than an open download
Volume: Vendor gives the tracked-population rather than a byte count: every US Lower-48 project at 50 MW and above (~350 at launch, 650+ reported by 2023-24), each observed on a near-daily imagery cadence — i.e. order of 10^5-10^6 analysed scenes per year and a milestone event table of a few thousand dated events per year, with the analysed-imagery store itself running to terabytes given daily tasking across 650+ sites
Users: Institutional subscription base — plausibly tens to a few hundred seats (inferred from a 7-person boutique research firm selling membership-style institutional research through a membership inbox, with no self-serve signup)
History: 4 years
Update frequency: not stated
Growth: Active — product launched August 2022 timed to the Inflation Reduction Act and has expanded since (tracked population grew from ~350 potential projects at launch to 650+ projects in later coverage), with continued trade-press contributions and a data-product line extending into storage, permits and forecasts; 7-person team, Austin plus a Denmark presence.
Launched: 2022 — solarSAT launched August 2022, deliberately timed to the Inflation Reduction Act vote (firm itself notes the IRA about to be passed that week)
