SolarNetwork Foundation Subscription Price Explorer
Use this page to estimate the subscription costs associated with your SolarNetwork account over time. SolarNetwork accounts include the following subscriptions, billed monthly, each of which has a tiered pricing structure. See the subscriptions page for more details and explanations of the terminology like node, source, and properties.
- Properties Posted

- Datum Queried
- The the number of datum returned via queries to the SolarNetwork API.
- Datum Days Stored
- The number of datum stored in SolarNetwork, across all sources and nodes in your account, calculated each day and summed for the month.

Cost explorer form
The form below allows you to simulate the effect that different numbers of nodes, sources, properties, and query levels have on monthly subscription costs. This simulation does not account for many changes that can occur over time, such as adding/removing nodes and variable query usage, but it should give you a basic understanding of the costs associated with various node deployment scenarios.
To use, simply change the form values. The table will update automatically to reflect the configuration as you change it. The table shows the subscription usage and associated costs based on the configuration, per month† for 5 years. The default settings show only the first month and thereafter the last month of each year. You can change the settings as follows:
- Nodes
- The number of SolarNode devices collecting data in your account.
- Sources / node
- The number of unique data sources each node will collect data from, i.e. connected devices.
- Datum / source / hour
- The number of datum each source will generate, per hour, i.e. how many times each source reads from a device.
- Properties / datum
- The number of properties collected on each datum, i.e. metrics read from each device.
- Queried datum / source / hour
- The number of datum queried from SolarNetwork per source per hour.
- Instructions issued / node / month
- The number of instructions issued to each node per month.
- Show OCPP
- Toggle the display of OCPP configuration and associated costs.
- OCPP Chargers

- Show OSCP
- Toggle the display of OSCP configuration and associated costs.
- OSCP Capacity Groups
- The number of enabled OSCP Capacity Group entities configured in your account.
- OSCP Capacity
