CI_FLAG

Cloud identification quality flag [categories], this parameter is represented as 'flagR' in the response

FLAG_R

alias for CI_FLAG

KTM

Deprecated alias of KC. Can be discontinued in future versions.

KC

Clear-sky index [unitless]

KT

clearness index, values range (0, 1.1), during the night -9

PAR

INC

Incidence angle of direct irradiance [deg.], this parameter needs GTI or PVOUT in the request

TILT

Tilt of inclined surface [deg.], this parameter needs GTI or PVOUT in the request

ASPECT

Aspect of inclined surface [deg.], this parameter needs GTI or PVOUT in the request

Note

Timestamps used in the XML response comply with the ISO 8601 standard for date and time representation https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_8601. Time stamps are also aware of time zone (offset from UTC). Time zone designators are appended after the the time part of timestamp string. If the time is in UTC (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coordinated_Universal_Time)Z is added directly after the time without a space. Z is the zone designator for the zero UTC offset e.g., 2017-09-22T01:00:00.000Z . If there is an offset from UTC, this is designated by appending +/-HH:MM after the timestamp string, e.g., 2017-09-22T01:00:00.000-05:00 (UTC-5).
