load_solar#
- load_solar(start='2021-05-01', end='2021-09-01', normalise=True, return_full_df=False, api_version='v4')[source]#
Get national solar estimates for GB from Sheffield Solar PV_Live API.
This function calls the Sheffield Solar PV_Live API to extract national solar data for the GB electricity network. Note that these are estimates of the true solar generation, since the true values are “behind the meter” and essentially unknown.
The returned time series is half hourly. For more information please refer to [1, 2]_.
- Parameters:
- startstring, default=”2021-05-01”
The start date of the time-series in “YYYY-MM-DD” format
- endstring, default=”2021-09-01”
The end date of the time-series in “YYYY-MM-DD” format
- normaliseboolean, default=True
Normalise the returned time-series by installed capacity?
- return_full_dfboolean, default=False
Return a pd.DataFrame with power, capacity, and normalised estimates?
- api_versionstring or None, default=”v4”
API version to call. If None then a stored sample of the data is loaded.
- Returns:
- ypd.Series
The solar generation time-series, as requested by parameters, see above
