Solcast

By: Solcast Research

Access global solar resource assessment and forecasting data for irradiance and PV power, powered by a global fleet of weather satellites.

What can this MCP do?

DeletePvPowerSite

Solcast API method

GetForecastAdvancedPvPower

Get high-spec PV power forecasts for the requested site from the present up to 14 days ahead, derived from satellite (clouds and irradiance over non-polar continental areas, nowcasted for approx. four hours ahead) and numerical weather models (other data and longer horizons).

GetForecastAggregations

Get forecast aggregation data for up to 7 days of data at a time for a requested collection or aggregation.

GetForecastKimber

Get soiling loss forecasts using the Kimber model for the requested location from the present up to 14 days ahead.

GetForecastRadiationAndWeather

Get irradiance and weather forecasts for the requested location from the present up to 14 days ahead, derived from satellite (clouds and irradiance over non-polar continental areas, now casted for approx. four hours ahead) and numerical weather models (other data and longer horizons).

GetForecastRooftopPvPower

Get basic rooftop PV power forecasts from the present time up to 14 days ahead for the requested location, derived from satellite (clouds and irradiance over non-polar continental areas, nowcasted for approx. four hours ahead) and numerical weather models (other data and longer horizons).

GetHistoricAdvancedPvPower

Get historical advanced PV power estimated actuals for the requested location, derived from satellite (clouds and irradiance over non-polar continental areas) and numerical weather models (other data). Data is available from 2007-01-01T00:00Z to 7 days ago.

GetHistoricKimber
