Automatic Monthly Performance Baseline Collection
Each month, your performance baselines are compiled automatically. Catch performance drift before it becomes a problem.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Get Historic Radiation And Weather
Tool to get historical irradiance and weather estimated actuals for a requested location. Use when you need historical solar radiation and weather data from 2007-01-01 to 7 days ago, for up to 31 days at a time.
Why this helps
Maintaining performance baselines requires manual monthly data collection, which gets skipped when schedules are full.
- Baseline data collected automatically monthly
- Historical record maintained over time
- Trend analysis ready for performance reviews
- Performance deviations caught early
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Page x and Solcast to Notis (one-time setup).
- 2Tell Notis: 'Collect monthly historical radiation and weather data to build performance baselines for each installation.'
- 3Set the trigger to Cron - Monthly on the 5th at 8:00 AM (adjust date as needed).
- 4Choose notification: Email with baseline data, Slack summary, or none.
- 5Review baselines month over month to spot performance trends.
Questions about this workflow
How do I use baselines for monitoring?
Compare current performance against baseline. Significant deviations signal equipment issues, soiling, or configuration problems.
How long does it take to establish a baseline?
Notis gathers data monthly; after 3-6 months, you'll have a reliable baseline for trend analysis.
Can I get baselines for individual sites?
Yes. Notis can track baselines per installation for detailed monitoring.
