(I'm new to this section of TBS, I normally lurk on the Microcontroller and PC projects section.) We have had a new solar system for a few months (14kW of panels, 8kW inverter, 16.6 kWh battery).   Last night was the first time we dropped to minimum SoC (set at 15%) and we had to import a fair bit of power. At sunset we only had 90% in the battery - I could have held back on some consumption. That prompted me to Google sites that helped predict solar output based on weather forecasts. The one that caught my eye was 'OpenWeather'. I already use it for weather (current and forecast) as it outputs in JSON - which I can use via my Webmite. Do any of you have any comments or suggestions? Cheers, Andrew
