Solar Forcast accuracy for multi azimuth

Hello,

Ive noticed in the new app that a future option to automated based on the SolCast solar forcast is in development - this is great news so I'm keen to get my solar forecast as accurate as possible.

The issue I have is that my PV is set over two azimuths and whilst Solcast will allow two azimuths, the API on GE will only allow me to input one location.

Generally speaking I've managed to tweak the setting so the totals aren't too far out but they are still not great so I'm keen to hear if anyone has managed to get theirs very accurate and how?

Thanks in advance. Liam

Delete the API Key for SolCast

Once you have created the 2 or more recourses in SolCast. Make a note of your API Key and the recourse IDs

Go back to the GE portal, and add back in the API & Recourse IDs. Press the + to ad another.

I was in the exact same situation - when I first looked at the Solcast card way back it only accepted a single resource ID which was not sufficient for my setup. Re-added the card and added both resources and it seems to be pretty decent. The estimates over the past few days look reasonable and today's forecast of about 20.4kwh was pretty close to the 21 I ended up at so the system does seem to be working OK for me. YMMV of course.

Perfect. Cheers MRich TheDragon (GivEnergy) . I didn't realise we could add both sites.

Very impressed.

Thanks for your help. Liam 👍
