Improving SolarFarmer Performance

3D API Private Preview

The 3D API is available on a Private Preview basis to existing customers who want to road test the API whilst we continue to work on API management and scalability.

Whilst in Private Preview, the 3D API is available at no additional charge, although we are currently limiting maximum project size to 50MW and we are running on a relatively small cloud cluster – which means that you may experience resource contention at busy times.

You can see if you have access when you log into the Web Service website https://solarfarmer.dnv.com - your services are listed on the home page.
