## About Solcast with LuumenAI

Connect Solcast and your agent can pull historical irradiance and weather actuals for any location, list the PV power resources your account holds, and read the technical specification behind each one. When a site's hardware changes, the agent drafts the update to the resource model and holds it for your approval before anything is written.

- `SOLCAST_GET_DATA_HISTORIC_RADIATION_AND_WEATHER` — Get historical irradiance and weather estimated actuals for a requested location.
- `SOLCAST_GET_RESOURCES_PV_POWER_SITE` — Retrieve a specific PV power resource by its unique identifier.
- `SOLCAST_GET_RESOURCES_PV_POWER_SITES` — List PV power resources available to authenticated user.
