Can Lyro pull a solar power forecast from Solcast?

Not through this toolkit. The actions it exposes cover PV power resource management - Create, Update, Patch, Get, and list - plus Get Historic Radiation And Weather, which returns estimated actuals rather than a forward forecast. The resources maintained here are what Solcast's Advanced PV Power forecasting then runs against.

How far back can Lyro retrieve Solcast irradiance data?

Get Historic Radiation And Weather covers 2007-01-01 up to seven days ago, and returns at most 31 days per call. A longer span is assembled from several sequential requests rather than one.

What is the difference between Lyro updating and patching a resource?

Update PV Power Resource replaces the full technical specification, including capacity, orientation, tracking, derating, and bifacial settings. Patch PV Power Resource changes only the fields named and leaves the rest untouched, which is the safer call when a single detail has changed.

Which solar sites does Lyro see on our Solcast account?

The ones the authenticated account is entitled to. Get Resources PV Power Sites lists them and can filter by entitlement level, so Lyro works from the set of sites your own Solcast credentials grant rather than a wider catalog.

Solcast MCP integration

Lists and opens PV power resources, creates or patches their technical settings, and pulls historical irradiance and weather for a coordinate.

Three actions you can hand over today

Every action runs live through MCP. Nothing to build, nothing to maintain.

Create pv power resource
Lyro creates a new PV power resource in Solcast for solar site forecasting and monitoring. Engineering teams set up new solar installations with complete technical specifications without manual data entry.
Update pv power resource
Lyro modifies the technical specifications of an existing solar site configuration in Solcast. Site managers adjust installation details and forecasting parameters mid-project without service disruption.
Get historic radiation and weather
Lyro retrieves historical irradiance and weather data for a location from Solcast's archive. Engineers compare actual weather conditions against forecasts to validate model accuracy.

How businesses use Solcast + Lyro

Each card is one request a support team gets, and the Solcast actions Lyro runs to close it.

Look up what conditions a site actually saw
Lyro pulls estimated actual irradiance and weather for a coordinate over a window of up to 31 days, anywhere from 2007 onward, so a question about past performance is answered from the record.
Get Historic Radiation And WeatherGet PV Power ResourceGet Resources PV Power Sites
Register a newly commissioned solar site
Lyro creates a PV power resource with its capacity, orientation, tracking parameters, and derating factors, so the installation is modelled for Advanced PV Power forecasting straight away.

Correct one setting without rebuilding the record
When a single specification changes, Lyro patches that field on the existing resource, or applies a full update when capacity, tracking, and bifacial settings all move together.
Patch PV Power ResourceUpdate PV Power ResourceGet PV Power Resource
Audit the site list against what is installed
Lyro lists the PV power resources available to the account, filtered by entitlement level, and opens each one to confirm its configuration still matches the hardware on the ground.

How it works

Get started in 3 steps

Connect once, then just ask. There is no workflow builder to learn and nothing to maintain — Lyro reads the Solcast actions it has and picks the ones a request needs.

01
Connect Solcast
Authorize the Solcast account your team already uses — one consent screen, no API keys, no mapping tables. Lyro can only do what you granted that account, and you can disconnect it at any time.
02
Tell your agent what you need
Describe the job the way you would hand it to a teammate. Lyro maps it to the Solcast actions that close it and chains as many as the request needs.
03
Watch it work
The agent runs the actions inside the conversation the customer is already in, so nobody copies data between tabs and your team can take over at any point.
