This page provides a more detailed description of what energy system data is available in the API. Which parameter contains which data?
Because the data is also visualized on CO2 Monitor, Energieopwek, and the Nationaal Energie Dashboard, it is specified on which page the parameter is visible and what label it has there.
Please scroll to the right to see the extra columns if needed.
Type ID | API name | Description API name | Visualized on / data available at | Label (website) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
2 | Solar | The total solar energy generated consists of solar panels, solar meadows and solar parks (including behind the meter). In short, all forms of solar energy generation in the Netherlands.
