Solcast is dedicated to developing the data and tools needed to plan, construct, operate and manage solar power systems across the world. The company provides fast, easy access to real-time, forecast and historical solar data, globally via a scalable API based serviced. Formed in early 2016, Solcast is the culmination of several years of work by co-founders James Luffman (Sydney) and Dr Nick Engerer (Canberra) and their team, who saw tremendous opportunity to approach solar modelling and forecasting from their perspectives as meteorologists working with the electricity sector.
