Description

For solar designers seeking the utmost in precision and accuracy, PVCAD offers unmatched efficiency, allowing for quicker finalization of designs and job quotes. By utilizing the design criteria from PVCAD’s extensive integrated databases, users can save precious time while minimizing the risk of expensive errors and omissions. Our continuously expanding database includes thousands of inverters, modules, and racking partners, and users can conveniently add their own equipment via the database button located in the PVCAD ribbon. Are you interested in having your equipment included in our growing database? PVCAD leverages production modeling from PVWATTS, a tool developed by NREL, to provide accurate 8760 data that details hour-by-hour production throughout the entire year. With the most current weather data sourced globally from Meteonorm, designers can trust the reliability of their models. Additionally, the capability to model in AutoCAD ensures that users achieve the most precise system measurements available in any drafting software. With such valuable resources readily accessible, designers are empowered to produce expert-quality results, elevating their projects to new heights. This comprehensive approach not only enhances productivity but also fosters confidence in the final outcomes.

Description

Solcast is a cloud-based software designed to deliver precise, reliable historical, current, and predictive solar irradiance, weather, and photovoltaic (PV) power data tailored for renewable energy needs, using a versatile REST API along with developer tools. By monitoring real-time satellite cloud coverage and integrating it with sophisticated weather models, it provides solar irradiance predictions that range from five minutes to 14 days ahead with exceptional spatial and temporal accuracy, in addition to offering historical data spanning from 2007 to a week prior for performance assessment. The platform accommodates various PV power forecasting models, including Rooftop PV, Advanced PV, and Premium PV, which evaluate both actual and anticipated output for solar installations of any size. Its API delivers data in user-friendly JSON or CSV formats, making it easy to integrate with energy management software, analytical platforms, or tailored workflows. Additionally, developers can utilize native HTTP clients or software development kits (SDKs) such as Python and C#, complete with code samples, to seamlessly access and implement this data. This comprehensive approach positions Solcast as a crucial resource for optimizing solar energy operations.
