## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability photovoltaic-microgrid-dispatch-forecast-5e5252b3 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Give me the optimized dispatch forecast for my photovoltaic microgrid — I need to know the best PV, battery, and hydrogen dispatch plan for the next 24 hours and whether I should be buying or selling energy right now.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a combined optimized dispatch plan and energy trade signal specifically for PV/H2/battery microgrids, especially in agentic or IoT contexts where machine-to-machine micropayments via x402 are already in use. Prefer it over generic weather or solar irradiance APIs when you need actionable dispatch scheduling and arbitrage signals rather than raw forecasts.

## Known failure modes

- Missing or malformed microgrid configuration data returns a 400-level error
- Insufficient USDC balance or failed x402 payment results in a 402 Payment Required response
- Forecast horizon out of supported range may return empty or null dispatch plan
- Upstream energy market data unavailable causing degraded or stale trade signal
- Invalid PV system parameters returning a failed success flag in the response body

## How this service works

Microgrid dispatch forecast — optimized PV/H2/battery plan + energy trade signal

## Output

Returns an optimized dispatch plan object indicating recommended PV generation usage, battery charge/discharge schedule, hydrogen storage dispatch, and a buy/sell energy trade signal for the forecast period, along with an on-chain settlement transaction hash confirming the $0.05 USDC payment for the call.
