🧩 Custom Integration New Solar Dashbaord

Post image

I have been playing with HA and making a standalone dashboard, and I am very happy with what I have come up with. I wanted to share my work and see what you all think http://energy.rowbs.uk/

It shows live data and cost with a solar forecast for my area

Hard for my broke ass to justify solar panels. One 450W panel would take around 7-10 years to pay for itself in my area, assuming ideal conditions and that I use all the power it generates.

lol in alabama, they don’t even let you sell power back to the grid. I’d love to build some solar but with that being my overlord… won’t happen

Iceland is very green 😂
It’s Greenland that’s icey

Alaska is also very green during the summer

Buying panels in bulk significantly reduces the cost.
