add NREL API to SUNY international weather data to iotools
Problem There's less international weather data
Solution
Add get_nrel_suny()
, read_
, & parse_
to use the the SUNY international data API from NREL
Additional context Check out the NREL NSRDB docs and developer network:
- NREL dev docs - Solar
- NREL dev docs - NSRDB
- NREL dev docs - SUNY international data
- info about NSRDB international data
- NREL dev docs - dataset download - returns average monthly output at location
- NREL dev docs - dataset query - returns list of sites near location
I believe that "SUNY India" and "SUNY International" are the same datasets.
As the most recent data seems to be from 2014, I vote that we do not make a dedicated function for this dataset and close this issue. I have received confirmation from Aron Habte from NREL that there are no plans to update it either. @mikofski thoughts?
