Solar resource assessment and forecasting data for irradiance and PV power, globally.
The Solcast API offers solar energy forecasting and historical solar data, enabling developers to integrate accurate solar radiation, PV power output, and weather data into their applications. With the Solcast API on Pipedream, you can automate data retrieval for solar project planning, performance monitoring, and energy system integration. Pipedream's serverless platform means you can set up workflows that respond to various triggers to process and act on Solcast data in real-time, without managing infrastructure.
import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"
export default defineComponent({
props: {
solcast: {
type: "app",
app: "solcast",
}
},
async run({steps, $}) {
return await axios($, {
url: `https://api.solcast.com.au/data/forecast/radiation_and_weather`,
headers: {
Authorization: `Bearer ${this.solcast.$auth.api_key}`,
"Accept": `application/json`,
},
params: {
latitude: `-33.856784`,
longitude: `151.215297`,
output_parameters: `air_temp,dni,ghi`,
},
})
},
})
The Schedule app in Pipedream is a powerful tool that allows you to trigger workflows at regular intervals, ranging from every minute to once a year. This enables the automation of repetitive tasks and the scheduling of actions to occur without manual intervention. By leveraging this API, you can execute code, run integrations, and process data on a reliable schedule, all within Pipedream's serverless environment.
