Solcast API
The Solcast API provides live, forecast, historical, and typical meteorological year (TMY) solar irradiance, PV power, and weather data derived from a global fleet of weather satellites. It supports rooftop PV power, advanced PV power (for registered sites), grid aggregation data, and soiling loss models (Kimber and HSU). Authentication uses an API key. Data is available in JSON and CSV formats with 5- to 60-minute granularity anywhere on the planet.
