I just did a test with the site Aaron referred to.
It gave good realistic readings for today (mostly sunny)
at 10am their 1315W compared to my 1295W

I suggest trying the public api for a few weeks to see how it compares with actual before getting to involved.

edit:
for the last two days, actual generated was ~7% lower than the forecast.solar estimate.
Early days but looking usable for short time forecasts.
