FAQ

Questions NREL Solar Resource owners ask.

  • 01

    How do I get solar irradiance for a specific coordinate?

    Use the get_solar_resource capability by providing the latitude and longitude. The agent will return average DNI, GHI, and Tilt at Latitude data for that location.

  • 02

    Can I search for solar data using a physical address instead of coordinates?

    Yes! The query_nsrdb_data capability allows you to provide an address string. The system will locate the nearest NSRDB datasets associated with that address.

  • 03

    What types of data sources can I filter by in the NSRDB?

    When using query_nsrdb_data, you can use the type parameter to filter results by 'satellite' or 'station' data sources.
