Overviews
How it works?
Retrieve solar forecasts on schedule
Set up automated workflows that pull solar irradiance forecasts from Solcast at specified intervals, ensuring your energy management systems always have access to the latest prediction data for optimal planning and operations.
Send forecast alerts for weather changes
Monitor Solcast forecasts for significant weather changes or cloud coverage events, and trigger notifications to your operations team via email or messaging platforms when conditions may impact solar energy production.
Export solar data to analytics platforms
Schedule regular exports of Solcast solar radiation and weather data to your business intelligence tools or databases, enabling comprehensive analysis of solar performance trends and forecast accuracy over time.
Update energy models with live data
Pull real-time solar irradiance estimates from Solcast and feed them into your energy modeling systems, allowing dynamic adjustments to production forecasts and grid management strategies based on current conditions.
Create reports comparing forecast to actual
Combine Solcast forecast data with actual production measurements from your solar installations, generating automated comparison reports that help you refine predictions and identify performance issues at your facilities.
Trigger maintenance alerts based on weather
Use Solcast weather forecasts to identify optimal maintenance windows for solar installations, sending scheduled alerts to your maintenance team when clear weather conditions are predicted for safe and efficient servicing.
Integrate forecasts into energy trading systems
Feed Solcast solar production forecasts directly into your energy trading platforms, enabling data-driven decisions about when to buy or sell power based on predicted solar generation capacity.
Archive historical data for compliance
Set up workflows that collect and archive historical solar forecast and weather data from Solcast, maintaining comprehensive records for regulatory compliance, auditing purposes, and long-term performance analysis.

Build
Automated solar farm optimization system
Create an intelligent solar farm management platform by combining Solcast forecasts with your SCADA systems, battery storage controls, and grid management tools. CodeWords automates the flow of forecast data to optimize energy storage timing, predict maintenance needs, and coordinate with grid operators for maximum efficiency and revenue.
Energy trading decision support tool
Build a comprehensive trading assistant that combines Solcast solar forecasts with market price data, weather patterns, and demand predictions. The integration automatically analyzes opportunities, generates trading recommendations, and can even execute trades when favorable conditions align with your strategy parameters.
Customer-facing solar production dashboard
Develop a transparent client portal that shows real-time solar production alongside Solcast forecasts. CodeWords automatically updates customer dashboards with current generation data, expected production for upcoming days, and monthly performance summaries, while sending proactive notifications about significant forecast changes.
