Aggregated Time-Series Data

SolarAnywhere aggregated time-series data is available for historical time periods with a SolarAnywhere Sites license. Aggregated data files provide our trusted irradiance and weather data in a format that allows for an overview of locations at a broader temporal resolution than the hourly and sub hourly timesteps found in our standard time-series datasets.

Historical Aggregated time-series data can be downloaded from the SolarAnywhere data website or requested via API with access to a Sites license. This data can be requested at monthly resolution. The period available and the spatial resolution are dependent upon the geographic data region.
