Plug intervals now supports instant interval data collection capability for select providers.

What is the feature?

Instant intervals enables you access to interval data in a very quick time so that you can integrate it into your use-cases for near real-time calculations and proposals.

What problem does it solve?

Many use-cases, especially in the residential solar proposal space, need access to interval data as quickly as possible to be able to generate near real-time proposals. Our system typically takes 10-15 minutes to be able to get back interval data from the time of credential submission. With instant intervals, you can now get back data much faster so that you can generate proposals or perform calculations in a matter of a couple of minutes.
