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.

Sometimes, Less is More!!

Simple yet effective tool, that tells me exactly what I need to know! Most important stuff up front, with details below. Layout’s smooth, with no fluff. Still can’t believe this is free! Only thing that’d make this better is a function that enables auto-location updates based on device location (rather than a fixed location), as I use the app to predict solar capture in my house on wheels #VanLife… though I recognize that’s an edge case, and it’s currently easy to update manually. Maybe an integration with HomeAssistant, if I’m being greedy? lolHumblest gratitude to the devs!!

Best app for solar power

Very accurate on the weather and pretty much on point on how much sun you will get for your solar for the day.

It’s good but needs more specific locations

I live on the coast in the Bay Area, and weather seems to be only by county basis. On one side of the mountains it is 70 and sunny, while on the other side is 60 and pure fog. Definitely going to keep using and hope the geographical data improves

Updated the design and improved interface usability. Added paid features. Improved layouts on tablets and wide screens. Made charts and value labels easier to read.
