Hi,
The new solar forecast can be very useful, I am just having some trouble making sense of the returned data.
I am using the VRM API NODE in NodeRed.
I am calling the following, and then looking at the totals.
Installation Stats - Solar Irradiance Forecast
totals: vrm_solar_irradiance_fc 1921
So here I get a total of 1921, does that mean a total of 1921 watt/hours for the day.
So if I have a 35kw of panels, can I then argue I will generate 67.235kw for the day (1921 x 35)? Does the forecast include system losses?
If I look at the
PV Yield solar forecast:
vrm_pv_charger_yield_fc 19 211.72
I get 19 211.72, is that watts? This is not what I would expect, I would expect much more than that, a value above about 65kw. Also, does this include system losses, if it is a forecast for the system, I would argue that it should include all losses factored in.
I would appreciate any information as to what exactly the vrm_solar_irradiance_fc and vrm_pv_charger_yield_fc is giving me.
Thanks
