Solcast Integration for Home Assistant

Solcast Solar

Home Assistant(https://www.home-assistant.io/) Component

This custom component integrates the Solcast API into Home Assistant.

Modified from the great works of

• dannerph/homeassistant-solcast
• cjtapper/solcast-py
• home-assistant-libs/forecast_solar

Solcast Requirements:

Sign up for an API key (https://solcast.com/)

Solcast may take up to 24hrs to apply the 50 API counter from the default 10.. give it time to work:)

Create Rooftop entities on the Solcast website with all the data about your solar panel setup. Copy the API Key for use with this integration.

Basic Installation/Configuration Instructions:

Add a new HA Integration selecting 'Solcast PV Solar'

If you have more than one Solcast account because you have more than 2 rooftop setups, enter both account API keys seperated by a comma
