Research photovoltaic forecasting platforms with API access #40
Description
We are seeking community assistance to identify and evaluate solar production forecasting services (e.g., Solcast) that offer reliable, professional APIs. The goal is to integrate these forecasts into Edge Mining with flexible update frequencies. While frequent updates (every few minutes) are welcome, they are not a strict requirement at this stage. We are also interested in platforms offering free or affordable plans, even if the data is updated every hour, every few hours, or every six hours, to allow for testing and initial integration.
Research focus
- Pricing and plan options
- Reliability and accuracy of the forecasts
- User reviews and testimonials
- API integration details, including ease of use
The collected information will help us choose the best service for initial testing and future integration.
