Plutonic Rainbows

Solar Energy Project Day 2

I figured out why I could not call the API. I now have a CSV file to work with so that is some progress. I now need to find a way to compile C++ code into a Python module using pybind11.

  • Write the performance-critical parts of the logic (e.g., the actual adjustment of PV estimates based on tilt, azimuth, capacity, etc.) in C++ for speed and efficiency.

  • The real-time data adjustments (like changes in tilt, azimuth, capacity) are performance-sensitive, you can implement the data processing algorithm in C++ and return the results to Python, which will handle the visualization.

I chose Solcast as the API provider for real-time and forecasted solar irradiance data globally. I am not sure if my API is configured for the correct account but I will wait on an answer from support. I wrote a simple python3 script to pull down data but, as of now, I get an error. I have set up an account for a Home PV System. The API error might be due to the restrictions on that account.
