Automatic Derating Factor Synchronization
Log a derating adjustment once. Solcast applies it instantly without manual entry.

Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Patch PV Power Resource
Tool to partially update an existing PV power resource's technical specifications. Use when you need to modify specific resource configuration fields without replacing the entire resource.
Why this helps
Derating factors are complex and easy to lose track of; logging them in Page x and forgetting to sync to Solcast breaks forecast accuracy.
- Derating changes applied instantly to Solcast
- No missed adjustments or forgotten updates
- Forecasts maintain precision
- Complex parameters handled without errors
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Page x and Solcast to Notis (one-time setup).
- 2Ask Notis: 'When a derating adjustment is logged in Page x, patch the Solcast resource with the new derating factors.'
- 3Set the trigger to Webhook - when derating fields are updated in Page x.
- 4Select notification preference: Email summary, Slack alert, or none.
- 5Test by logging a derating adjustment in Page x and verify it appears in Solcast.
Questions about this workflow
Which derating factors are synced?
Soiling, temperature, age, and any other factors you specify in Page x. Tell Notis which fields to sync during setup.
Can I patch just one parameter without overwriting others?
Yes. This automation uses Patch, which updates only the fields you specify, not the entire resource.
What happens if I make a mistake in Page x?
The incorrect value syncs to Solcast. You can quickly correct it in either tool and Notis will sync again.
