Calculate virtual solar production using weather station Solar Radiation sensor?

I’m trying to get a sense of what things might look like if I got an 8kw solar array on my roof. I know the house orientation and roof pitch etc…

I’m wondering if anyone has some experience estimating solar panel generation using a solar radiation sensor from a weather station? I’ve had a try using the Forecast Solar integration but the updates are not very frequent… I suspect there is some kind of calc I could do that would tell me “if” I had solar panels right now what they would roughly be generating…

Maybe install this integration Forecast Solar and put in your planned panels? This is forecast, but could give you a good estimate :slight_smile:
