Weather maps
With the meteoblue API you can get access to innovative weather maps that cover the whole world with a wide range of variables overlays like temperature, precipitation, pressure and many more. The weather maps are available for different heights like ground level or up to 200hPa. .
Special services
MOS
MOS (Model output statistics) is the technique of post-processing the output from numerical weather forecast models using statistics of local historical or actual weather measurements. The MOS service substantially improves the accuracy of the forecast data for temperature, radiation and PV power generation (other variables can be specified on request). Microclimatic of site specific conditions like seasonal fog, shading or spectral sensitivity are accurately forecasted when PV MOS was implemented.
FORKAST - Renewable forecast made easy
FORKAST is precision forecasting service for the management of renewable energies, smart home or micro-grid systems. Thanks to an intuitive web interface, the forecast of a single solar panel or wind turbine can be accessed within seconds. Advanced users can set up their network, including a storage device, different load profiles and multiple renewable generators and access the graphical forecast with a registered account (free of charge). This makes FORKAST the service of choice for any organisation wanting affordable precision forecasting for renewable energy generation, starting with single turbines or homes up to large wind parks. Test it now and send your feedback to FORKAST.
