Good forecasting app for solar

[Skypower]

I’ve been using “Willy Weather” App for may years for figuring out how the weather would be for wind when I was boating. The last few years I’ve also been using it for solar.
Select the UV at the bottom and you’ll see three days into the future. It’s been amazingly accurate for solar energy.

Hi, That’s very interesting. How are you applying this information onto your system size and coming up with the forecasted solar generation?

For me it’s more about energy management. I see a lot of sun and I’ll be planning on running a lot of load to take advantage of the free energy. Lots of sun= plan on a laundry day.

I see, this way I have been already using the weather app on the iPhone with the UV option from the drop down.
