Subscription Management

Here’s how to manage your Solcast subscriptions

Your Solcast account includes all your product plans, enabling you to oversee your testing, evaluation activities, and subscription details at ease.

Steps on how to find your Solcast subscription plans

Refer to the steps below to find all your subscriptions.

Step 1: Log in to Solcast Toolkit account.

Step 2: Find all your registered plans on the top header.

Step 3: Navigate to your account name at the top right corner of the header. Click the drop down arrow and select ‘Manage Subscription’ from the list.

Step 4: When you click on 'Manage Subscription,' a page will show all the subscriptions and sub-products linked to your account. Additionally, it will provide information about the total consumption and other plan details.

Understanding your commercial toolkit subscription plan

In your plan, you can find these Solcast data products:

• Forecast Advanced PV Power
• Forecast Radiation and Weather
• Forecast Rooftop PV Power
• Historic Radiation and Weather
• Historic Rooftop PV Power
• Live Advanced PV Power
• Live Radiation and Weather
• Live Rooftop PV Power
• TMY P50
• TMYX Radiation and Weather
• TMYx Rooftop PV Power

Each plan contains details such as the total API requests, including the consumed and remaining request, data parameters, and time granularity. It's crucial to monitor your consumed API calls to ensure continued access to the data you need.

For example, in the case of the live radiation and weather product (image below), if your plan has 5 out out 10 limit requests, it will show that you have already consumed 50% of the requests. The last transaction date will also be accessible in the data below. In addition to that, you can find over 20 data parameters and time granularity available for testing your location.
