Automatic Solar Orientation Synchronization
Physical equipment changes orientation. Solcast knows about it instantly.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Update PV Power Resource
Tool to update an existing PV power resource with comprehensive technical specifications for solar installation site modeling. Use when you need to modify resource configuration including capacity, orientation, tracking parameters, derating factors, and bifacial system settings.
Why this helps
Physical equipment changes in the field are logged in Page x but forgotten in Solcast, breaking forecast accuracy until discovered.
- Orientation changes sync instantly to Solcast
- Forecasts stay accurate with actual equipment
- No forgotten manual updates
- Reality and predictions stay aligned
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Page x and Solcast integrations to Notis.
- 2Ask Notis: 'When orientation is updated in Page x, automatically update the Solcast resource orientation.'
- 3Set the trigger to Webhook - when orientation field changes in Page x.
- 4Select notification: Email confirmation, Slack alert, or silent sync.
- 5Test by updating an orientation value in Page x and verifying it changes in Solcast.
Questions about this workflow
Which orientation parameters are synced?
Azimuth (direction) and tilt (angle). Both are updated in Solcast automatically.
Can I batch-update orientations?
Yes. Update multiple records in Page x and each one syncs to Solcast individually.
How quickly does Solcast recalculate forecasts?
Within seconds. Once orientation is updated, Solcast's next forecast run will use the new parameters.
