pvPlanner web service API

WS API request parameters (represented as XML elements and attributes) are formally described by XML Schema Definition documents (XSD). To validate XML files we provide two endpoint variants:

• SOAP
• REST

Price is qouted based on number of requests and type of use. Typicaly, licence to access API is valid for one year. Authentication is based on API key registered with the customer.

GHI - Monthly and annual long-term averages Global Horizontal Irradiation [kWh/m2]
DIF - Monthly and annual long-term averages of Diffuse Horizontal Irradiation [kWh/m2]
