This article serves as the single entry point for exploring all Solargis API data services, grouped by the product they relate to (Monitor & Forecast, Prospect, Evaluate, PV components catalog, and Solargis account): what use cases they support across the solar project lifecycle, the data formats and delivery methods offered, and a structured reference table linking each service to its related product, typical usage, documentation, and API technical guides.
At Solargis, our API data services are provided as integral components of the Monitor, Forecast, Prospect, and Evaluate solutions, delivering high-quality solar and meteorological data tailored for a wide range of scenarios. Additionally, we provide API access to the Solargis PV components catalog, enabling you to use highly detailed manufacturer components in your designs and applications.
These APIs enable seamless integration for use cases such as feasibility analysis, energy yield estimation, ongoing monitoring, performance forecasting, and PV system design, supporting professional applications throughout the entire solar project lifecycle.
Solargis data services provide flexible data access through synchronous and asynchronous APIs and scheduled push delivery to SFTP, in different formats (XML, JSON, CSV) and a range of temporal resolutions (from minutes to years), catering to the needs of developers, analysts, consultants, and system integrators. Offered in different subscription tiers, these services deliver flexibility in product selection to best match specific project or integration requirements.
