analytics 6 tools available

Solar resource assessment and forecasting data for irradiance and PV power, globally.

About this integration

Connect Solcast to Definable to answer ad-hoc analytics questions, detect anomalies, auto-generate weekly summaries. Personas call Solcast's 6 tools directly from chat or scheduled flows. Plug into a data-analysis persona to ask questions in plain English — the agent runs the queries.

Connect Solcast to Definable and it becomes a set of typed tools your agents plan with — triggered by events, run on schedules, or invoked mid-conversation. Every write is checked by the verifier before it lands.
