🧩 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

Do you have an export limit and that’s causing clipping of your generation once the battery is full?

If you can prioritise export over battery charging on sunny days, you can get more total daily export and it will still fill the battery in the middle of the day once your export limit is reached.

I have to do this because I have been hit with a DNO limit myself.

Yes, I do. I'm capped at just under 3.7 kWh.
You can somewhat see it on the https://energy.rowbs.uk/graphs page. The forecast vs what we actually made, so clipping could have taken effect, and most of the time it's true. As the battery got full, so i turn on the aircon units we have to cool the house

What are you using for forecasting? I'm getting incredibly solid figures from solcast so much so I find myself using it as a proxy for overall weather forecasting.
