About Solar Energy Forecast
Solar Energy Forecast helps you understand how good the day is for solar generation. The app shows solar indicators that matter for estimating daily solar potential: solar energy, cloud cover, hourly activity, sun position, and weather risks. What’s inside: • daily solar energy forecast; • day rating: good, average, or weak; • hourly charts for GHI/DIF, DNI, UV, and cloud cover; • sun elevation and azimuth; • sunrise and sunset; • comparison of actual solar resource with the potential of a clear day; • risks for solar panels: strong wind, snow, ice, hail, thunderstorm; • location selection by search, geolocation, or map; • saved locations; Important: the kWh/m² value shows solar energy received by 1 m² of horizontal surface during the day. It is not the exact output of a solar panel. Real generation depends on system power, panel area, tilt, direction, temperature, cloud cover, and losses. The app is useful for solar panel owners, people planning to install a solar power system, and anyone who wants to understand sunny conditions in the coming days.
