A plugin for the node.js Signal K server for boats to retrieve solar production forecast data from the API at https://forecast.solar/ and provide this as SignalK paths.
Signal K is an open source server application that runs as a central information hub on a boat. It centralises data, provides a rich API to consume the data, and is extensible through a comprehensive suite of plugins (such as this one) and web applications.
https://forecast.solar/ is a limited free API that calculates a forecasted solar production based on historical solar irradiation data, historical weather data, current weather forecast data, and the caracteristics of your solar installation.
This plugin's purpose is to bring together these 2 components by making the data from the API available as Signal K paths which can then be consumed by interested parties.
These instructions will get you up and running.
