Hi, I have combined my daily electricity usage / production with the Solcast prediction and solar intensity from my Garni weatherstation in an Apex chart. It’s really nice as it shows clearly what I import and what I use from the sun, relative to the predicted and actual sun intensity. So it basically tells me how well I’m using the sun’s energy.
I’d like however to add the time stamp from Solcast which moment of the day my production will be highest. So for example a little flag when the production is maximum. I’m really struggling how to get this into my apex chart, any ideas?
I’ve posted some screens below. So in short I want to add the specific timestamp to the graph.
