LUDATA

A gateway to solar irradiance and meteorological data, analytical models, modelling workflows, and operational protocols.

What is LuData

LuData is a unified, API-first platform that provides access to solar irradiance and meteorological data, analytical models, modelling workflows, and operational protocols used in solar and environmental analysis.

It brings together the development, execution, and automation of workflows for applications such as energy yield assessment, site specific analysis, data quality control, and other advanced modelling and data processing tasks.

All LuData services are accessed through the LuData API Manager, which provides centralised access to datasets, models, and workflows, together with technical documentation, usage monitoring, and account level dashboards.

In addition to solar energy applications, LuData supports use cases in climate analysis, agriculture, and environmental modelling by facilitating the integration of irradiance and meteorological data into digital workflows.

Key Highlights

UI & API together

Access the same datasets, models, and workflows through both graphical interfaces and programmatic APIs.

Data + Models + Protocols

Combine raw data, analytical models, and executable modelling workflows within a single platform.

Consistency & trust

Validated by Lucisun and open to third-party or community verification.

Modular access

Subscribe only to the datasets or models you need.

Collaborative marketplace

Contributors can publish and license their data and models within a secure environment. The platform allows data and model owners to monitor how their resources are used, while users can track their own consumption and available quotas.

Collaborative future

Publish, Share, and Monetize Your Models

Publish, Share, and Monetize

LuData provides a secure way to publish, license, and monetize datasets, analytical models, and protocols without exposing your code.

Providers control access with versioned endpoints, usage quotas, and clear contracts, while users consume services through UI or API.

The first of many services available on our growing platform.

Service I

Historical Time Series

Bankable Solar and meteorological Data for energy, agriculture and environmental studies.

Typical generation speed:

Under 7 seconds per year of request (for multiple variables)

Time configuration:

Select output timezone (UTC or local) with timestamp convention (instantaneous, left or right-labelled)

Use case flexibility:

Supports solar setups (single- and dual-axis) as well as meteorological and climate applications

Temporal resolution:

From 15-min to yearly

Output formats:

CSV, JSON, and custom formats on request

Consumption
Usage is billed per request.
1 request = 1 variable × 1 year of data.

Credits remain valid until consumed. Credits remain valid until consumed and can be allocated across different studies and projects. Flexible credit packages are available to support both small scale or larger projects.
Service Ii

TMY and Custom PXX

Generate Typical Meteorological Year (TMY) and custom Pxx datasets for performance and risk analysis.

Technology-aware:

PV, CSP, CPV, trackers

Exceedance-based datasets
Support for exceedance based metrics, including TMY (P50), P75, P90, and custom Pxx
Long-term historical records

Data processing built on at least ten years, and up to several decades, of historical records derived from Service I.

Usage is billed per request.

1 request = 1 variable × 1 year of data.

Credits remain valid until consumed. A single TMY generation typically combines more than ten years of historical data across multiple variables, with credit usage scaling according to the data volume processed.

We provide flexible credit packages to support small scale projects as well as projects of greater scope typically managed by larger organisations, allowing budgets to be planned in advance.

Service III

Digital Elevation & Horizon Services

High-precision terrain and horizon data, Available anywhere on Earth.

Horizon profiles:

Full 360° azimuth, elevation, and distance information

Source & precision:

Powered by Copernicus GLO-30 DEM, internally hosted for speed and reliability, providing seamless 30 m resolution (adaptive to 90 m where needed)

Elevation data:

Single-point or gridded outputs.

Integration:

Directly accessible through LuData’s API and UI for rapid generation of terrain and horizon datasets at any site worldwide

1 credit per point; 1–4 credits for Area/Horizon depending on grid precision.
