Sites
Create new site
Create a new site to forecast. Wind and solar power, electricity demand, or localized weather variable sites are supported
You can use the API to programmatically create sites in the Rebase Platform. Depending on the site you create, the needed meta-data will be different.
To create a solar power site, use the following python code:
import requests
url = 'https://api.rebase.energy/platform/v2/sites'
site = {
'type': 'solar',
'name': 'My solar site',
'latitude': 53.41,
'longitude': 5.94,
'azimuth': 171.3, # 0 = North, 90 = East, 180 = South, 270 = West
'tilt': 10.3,
'capacity': [
{'value': 750.5, 'validFrom': '2019-10-10T00:00:00Z'}, # capacity of site changed to 750.5 kW at this date
{'value': 500.3, 'validFrom': '2019-04-03T00:00:00Z'}, # site with capacity 500.3 kW was installed at this date
],
}
response = requests.post(url, headers=headers, data=json.dumps(site))
response.raise_for_status()
response = response.json()
Response example

"site_id": "a923653c-26f1-1b29-955d-ffde5d182276"
