Solcast · FinOps Profile

Solcast Finops

FinOps framework definition for the Solcast API surface. Provides a FOCUS-aligned mapping for cost allocation, usage measurement, and unit-economics reporting across the provider's APIs. Solcast pricing is quote-based across Starter, Pro, and Max commercial tiers. Cost drivers include data tier (Starter/Pro/Max), product line (historic, live, forecast, TMY, PV power, aggregations), update frequency, time granularity, and number of monitored sites or locations. Organizations should instrument API key usage via the Solcast API Toolkit and map spend to business units consuming solar and weather data for forecasting, monitoring, and trading.
