Abstract

We present the application of FAIR principles to photovoltaic time series data to increase their reusability within the photovoltaic research community. The main requirements for a "FAIRified"dataset is to have a clearly defined data format, and to make accessible all metadata for this dataset to humans and machines. To achieve FAIRification, we implement a data model that separates the photovoltaic data and its metadata. The metadata and their descriptions are registered on a data repository in a human and machine readable format, using JSON-LD. Also, secure APIs are developed to access photovoltaic data. This approach has long term scalability and maintainability.
