Accumulated sunlight / hours of sunlight
-
Hi,
I was wondering if it was possible to have a view showing forecasted sunlight accumulation like you have with rain, snow and wind. So hours of clear sunlight forecast. This would be useful for those of us with solar panels and particularly with integrated house batteries as well as this would allow us to make informed decisions on how much to charge a house battery up overnight on a cheap off peak tariff depending on how much solar generation we are expecting the following day. If there is due to be a lot of sunlight / solar generation then you might only charge the house battery a small amount to get you through the morning until the sun rises and starts generating, whereas if it was going to be a cloudy day with not a lot of solar generation then you could chose to charge the battery up to a higher level with cheap electricity overnight to get you through the following day to avoid the expensive daytime electricity costs

The best solution would be probably to add a new layer based on this parameter:

Already requested here:

But in the meantime the solution proposed by @Gkikas-LGPZ is relevant and useful.
