Energy Data gives you live electricity prices for any location and solar generation estimates for any address in the world. Whether you're evaluating rooftop solar economics or tracking energy costs across regions, both answers come back in one place.
Electricity pricing auto-routes to the best regional source: UK gets half-hourly consumer and wholesale rates, Europe gets day-ahead prices for 40+ countries, Australia gets real-time spot prices, and the US gets monthly retail prices by state. Solar estimates work globally, detecting the right radiation dataset for any set of coordinates and returning annual and monthly generation figures.
What you can do
- electricity_prices — get current electricity prices for any location, auto-routed to the best regional data source
- solar_estimate — estimate annual solar energy production for a system of any size at any address
Who it's for
Homeowners evaluating solar panel installations, energy analysts monitoring regional prices, researchers comparing electricity costs across countries, and businesses assessing energy costs for new locations.
How to use it
- Call electricity_prices with latitude and longitude for any location — it picks the right data source automatically.
- Call solar_estimate with coordinates and your system size in kilowatts to get annual and monthly production figures.
- Combine both: multiply the annual kWh estimate by the local electricity price to calculate potential savings.
Getting started
Call electricity_prices with your coordinates to see current rates for your region. A NREL API key unlocks richer US solar data.
