About NREL Solar Resource MCP Server
Connect your AI agent to the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) Solar Resource API to analyze solar potential and access historical radiation data through natural conversation.
Google ADK natively supports NREL Solar Resource as an MCP tool provider. declare Vinkius Edge URL and the framework handles discovery, validation, and execution automatically. Combine 2 tools with Gemini's long-context reasoning for complex multi-tool workflows, with production-ready session management and evaluation built in.
What you can do
- Solar Irradiance — Retrieve average solar irradiance data including Direct Normal Irradiance (DNI), Global Horizontal Irradiance (GHI), and Tilt at Latitude for specific coordinates.
- NSRDB Queries — Search the National Solar Radiation Database for the nearest datasets based on latitude/longitude, address, or Well-Known Text (WKT) geometry.
- Data Sourcing — Identify specific satellite or station-based datasets for renewable energy research and site assessment.
The NREL Solar Resource MCP Server exposes 2 tools through the Vinkius. Connect it to Google ADK in under two minutes — credentials fully managed, no infrastructure to provision, no vendor lock-in. Your configuration, your data, your control.
