TMY
Radiation and Weather

Get TMY Irradiance

Get the irradiance and weather for a Typical Meteorological Year (TMY) at a requested location, derived from satellite (clouds and irradiance over non-polar continental areas) and numerical weather models (other data). The TMY is calculated with data from 2007 to 2025.

Query parameters

time_zonestring nullable

Timezone to return in data set. Accepted values are utc, longitudinal, or a range from -13 to 13 in 0.25 hour increments for utc offset.

period'PT15M' | 'PT20M' | 'PT30M' | 'PT60M' nullable

Length of the averaging period in ISO 8601 duration format. Default is PT60M.

ghi_weightnumber double

When creating the TMY, the weighting of GHI to use in the target parameter. Note that ghi_weight + dni_weight must equal 1.

dni_weightnumber double

When creating the TMY, the weighting of DNI to use in the target parameter. Note that ghi_weight + dni_weight must equal 1.

probability'p50' | 'p75' | 'p90' | 'p95' nullable

The probability percentile for the TMY.

format'json' | 'csv' | 'pvsyst' | 'sam' | 'tmy3' nullable

Response format. Default is HTML if not supplied.

tiltnumber float nullable

The angle (degrees) that the PV system is tilted off the horizontal. A tilt of 0 means the system faces directly upwards, and 90 means the system is vertical and facing the horizon. If you don't specify tilt, we use a default tilt angle based on the latitude you specify in your request. Must be between 0 and 90.

azimuthnumber float nullable

The azimuth is defined as the angle (degrees) from true north that the PV system is facing. An azimuth of 0 means the system is facing true north. Positive values are anticlockwise, so azimuth is -90 for an east-facing system and 135 for a southwest-facing system. If you don't specify an azimuth, we use a default value of 0 (north facing) in the southern hemisphere and 180 (south-facing) in the northern hemisphere.

array_type'fixed' | 'horizontal_single_axis' nullable

The type of sun-tracking or geometry configuration of your site's modules.

output_parametersstring[]

The output parameters to include in the response.

terrain_shadingboolean

If true, irradiance parameters are modified based on the surrounding terrain from a 90m-horizontal-resolution digital elevation model. The direct component of irradiance is set to zero when the beam from the sun is blocked by the terrain. The diffuse component of irradiance is reduced throughout the day if the sky view at the location is significantly reduced by the surrounding terrain. Global irradiance incorporates both effects.

latitudenumber double nullable required

The latitude of the location you request data for. Must be a decimal number between -90 and 90.

longitudenumber double nullable required

The longitude of the location you request data for. Must be a decimal number between -180 and 180.

Response

OK

estimated_actualsobject[] nullable
