## About
With this python library you can request data from [forecast.solar](https://forecast.solar) and see what your solar panels may produce in the coming days.
## Installation
```bash
pip install forecast-solar
```
## Data
This library returns a lot of different data, based on the API:
### Energy
- Total Estimated Energy Production - today/tomorrow (kWh)
- Estimated Energy Production - This Hour (kWh)
- Estimated Energy Production - Next Hour (kWh)
- Estimated Energy Production - Remaining today (kWh)
### Power
- Highest Power Peak Time - Today (datetime)
- Highest Power Peak Time - Tomorrow (datetime)
- Estimated Power Production - Now (W)
- Estimated Power Production - Next Hour (W)
- Estimated Power Production - In +6 Hours (W)
- Estimated Power Production - In +12 Hours (W)
- Estimated Power Production - In +24 Hours (W)
### API Info
- Timezone
- Rate limit
- Account type
- Rate remaining
### Validation
- API key (bool)
- Plane (bool)
## Example
```python
import asyncio
from forecast_solar import ForecastSolar
async def main() -> None:
"""Show example on how to use the library."""
async with ForecastSolar(
api_key="YOUR_API_KEY",
latitude=52.16,
longitude=4.47,
declination=20,
azimuth=10,
kwp=2.160,
damping=0,
damping_morning=0.5,
damping_evening=0.5,
horizon="0,0,0,10,10,20,20,30,30",
) as forecast:
estimate = await forecast.estimate()
print(estimate)
if __name__ == "__main__":
asyncio.run(main())
```
