Perplexity

Instant site resource assessment

Run `get_wind_resource_data` or `get_solar_resource_data` to pull precise site metrics into your chat. This MCP Server fetches verified climate data without you needing to log into the DNV portal. Claude Desktop displays these results immediately. You get the raw numbers you need to decide if a site is worth pursuing before you commit hours to modeling.

Automated climate data orders

Use `place_data_order` to request granular mesoscale climate datasets for any coordinate set. The server manages the request pipeline while you continue working on your analysis in the app. Check your progress with `get_order_status` to see exactly when your files are ready. Once finished, use `download_order_data` to pull the results straight into your local environment.

Energy yield modeling in-chat

Call `get_energy_yield_estimate` to calculate annual production based on your specific turbine parameters. This tool turns your chat into a focused calculation engine for your project proposals. It handles the heavy lifting of energy modeling by applying site-specific constraints. You see the estimated yield in your history, providing a clear audit trail for your investment decisions.
