pvnode

← Tariffs & forecasts

pvnode provides 15-minute PV production forecasts via REST API. An API key is required (free plan available with +1 day forecast). Attention: The free plan only allows 40 queries per month. These queries must be from only one location (lat, lon). Location is saved on first request and can not be changed afterwards, otherwise a 403 response is sent.
