High-quality wind resource data plays a central role in reducing uncertainty and managing risk across energy project development. LiDAR wind measurement supports confident decisions where long-term performance, investment assurance and site viability depend on accurate, defensible data.
Measure wind conditions across the full rotor swept area to support feasibility studies, site selection and energy yield assessment.
Capture representative wind data in complex marine and coastal environments where mast installation may be constrained.
Reduce early project uncertainty with measurement programmes that inform planning, consenting and investment decisions.
Assess wind conditions at modern hub heights to support turbine upgrade decisions and long-term asset optimisation.
Validate wind conditions and performance assumptions using independent measurement data to support operational review and analysis.
Energy projects operate in environments where uncertainty around wind conditions can directly affect feasibility, yield forecasts and investment confidence. Reliable, site-specific wind data is essential for managing this risk with clarity, particularly during development, consenting and financing stages where decisions have long-term implications.
Skyview supplies and installs LiDAR wind measurement systems that enable planners, developers and operators to capture accurate, representative wind data at their sites. These systems provide the high-quality measurements needed to reduce uncertainty, validate assumptions and support robust energy yield analysis carried out by project teams and their advisors.
All wind resource measurement solutions use calibrated, finance-grade equipment engineered for dependable, long-term data capture. Wind data can be accessed through secure platforms or integrated into existing analysis workflows, giving project stakeholders clear visibility of wind behaviour across relevant hub heights and site conditions.
Each system is configured around site layout, terrain and project requirements, and supported through installation, calibration, servicing and technical assistance. This ensures wind data remains reliable, auditable and fit for purpose throughout the measurement period, supporting confident progression from feasibility through to investment decision.
Energy projects often require high-quality wind data at modern hub heights, with clear traceability and dependable uptime. Without reliable, site-specific measurement, uncertainty increases and project risk is harder to manage. A properly specified LiDAR system supports confident data capture for use within yield analysis and investment evaluation workflows.

Answers to common questions about finance-grade LiDAR wind measurement systems for energy projects, including deployment, calibration, data access and ongoing support.
A LiDAR wind measurement system captures wind speed and direction across multiple heights using a remote sensing unit deployed on site. Data is recorded continuously and made available through secure platforms or export formats, so project teams and advisors can use the measurements within their own analysis and reporting workflows. Systems are supplied, installed and configured around site conditions to support reliable, long-term data capture.
LiDAR wind measurement is commonly used for onshore and offshore wind developments, repowering and life extension projects, and sites where modern hub heights require measurements beyond conventional mast coverage. It is also valuable where terrain, access or programme constraints make traditional installations more challenging, and where dependable wind data supports investment and development decisions.
Yes. Data access can be configured to support common review and reporting workflows, including secure dashboards and export formats suitable for analysis by developers, consultants and asset owners. We supply systems with practical data access options so wind measurements can be used within your existing tools and processes.
Installation begins with a review of your site, terrain and intended measurement objectives, so the system is positioned for representative data capture. Equipment is then deployed, powered and configured, with checks completed to confirm correct operation and reliable data access. Skyview engineers support commissioning and handover, ensuring the system is ready for continuous wind measurement.
Calibration and servicing help protect measurement accuracy over time, particularly where wind data supports investment decisions. Skyview provides technical support, servicing and calibration guidance to maintain performance and data integrity throughout the measurement period. Where required, ongoing support can be structured to match your project timeline and site conditions.
Requirements vary depending on site conditions, intended measurement duration, data access needs, installation constraints and
support expectations. For this reason, pricing is tailored to each project.
