Suggestion - solar yeld forecast

[mhejsek]

Hi,
I think it would be nice to add forecast (calculated from information about clouds And sun position on current time) of energy produced from "reference" solar panel at given location in day.

Thank you

Computing such a derived parameter from Weather Forecast Model with grids cells covering up to 625 km² each, would be pretty tricky.

If in theory Solar energy parameter could be computed from such a grid, results would not be pertinent e.g. over valleys or hillsides. Even if high resolution DEM data would be used to get rid of shady relief, computation could not take into accout big shadowy trees/buildings next to solar panels...
