Does anyone know how to have 2 roofs with different orientations included in the forecast model? Thanks

Yes. I have 6kw NW and 2KW SW.
In solcast you set up 2 resources, one for each roof. Note the 2 IDs down
in the GivEnergy Portal, delete the current resource, then re-add the 2 x resources instead.
GivEnergy then combines them for you

TheDragon (GivEnergy) yep I had one of those already, had no idea the portal integrated though. Up and running now.
Did you setup the two roofs as two sites in solcast?
#8 TheDragon (GivEnergy)
pacemaker Yes.
2 resource IDs, add them both in GivEnergy. GivEnergy portal will then do the maths and combine them into one graph/forecast

I seem to fall at the first hurdle. I cant get the homepage to save either addition or removal of cards. ( yes I have pressed save ! ) :-)

justpassing I didn't think it was that obvious when I did it but:
Portal > Account Settings > MANAGE ACCOUNT SECURITY
Down to the bottom of the page - "My API Keys"
Existing key will be "solcast-api-keys.......etc." > Delete it using the 'Rubbish bin'
Set up the two new keys and you should be OK.
