About

Solcast is a cloud-based solar and weather data software built to provide high-resolution, bankable historical, live, and forecast solar irradiance, weather, and photovoltaic (PV) power data for renewable energy applications, delivered through a scalable REST API and developer tools. It tracks real-time satellite cloud cover and blends that with advanced weather models to deliver solar irradiance forecasts from five minutes up to 14 days ahead with high spatial and temporal resolution, and also supplies historical time series from 2007 to seven days ago for performance analysis. Solcast supports multiple PV power forecast models (Rooftop PV, Advanced PV, and Premium PV) that estimate actuals and future output for solar assets of any scale, and its API returns data in JSON or CSV formats suitable for integration into energy software, analytics platforms, or custom workflows. Developers can access this data using native HTTP clients or SDKs (such as Python and C#) with code examples.

About

Photovoltaic systems, from small residential rooftops to large utility-scale systems. Concentrating Solar Power systems for electric power generation, including parabolic trough, power tower, and linear Fresnel. Power purchase agreement (PPA) projects where the system is connected to the grid at an interconnection point, and the project earns revenue through power sales. The project may be owned and operated by a single owner or by a partnership involving a flip or leaseback arrangement. Third-party ownership is where the system is installed on the customer's (host) property and owned by a separate entity (developer), and the host is compensated for power generated by the system through either a PPA or lease agreement.
