SOLAR RADIATION AND METEOROLOGICAL DATA SERVICES

To optimize solar energy production toward a sustainable future

SoDa is an access to many solar, meteorological, altitude, astronomical, and atmospheric services.

SoDa delivers solar radiation and meteorological data services for solar photovoltaic and thermal site prospection and electricity production monitoring and forecasting.

SoDa also provides spectral radiation services for agriculture and health domains.

Important Notice:

To enhance our service reliability and performance, we are transitioning all customers to access our services through the Load Balancer https://api.soda-solardata.com.

Direct access to our services will be discontinued soon.

Please update your configurations to use the LB as soon as possible.
