I have this defined in a sensors.yaml file and in configuration.yaml a line
sensor: !include sensors.yaml
and then the sensor shows under “Helpers” in the UI?
I think (s)he means the data type is different between yours and the original sensor (indicated by the dashes)
Yes, but that does not matter. You can even make it output similar to the solcast sensor by modifying {% set output_item = {time:sum_value} %} to {% set output_item = {'period_start': time, 'pv_wh_estimate':sum_value} %} i.e.
- period_start: '2024-06-10T07:00:00+02:00'
pv_wh_estimate: 770.25
- period_start: '2024-06-10T08:00:00+02:00'
pv_wh_estimate: 1860.5
- period_start: '2024-06-10T09:00:00+02:00'
pv_wh_estimate: 3024.25
- period_start: '2024-06-10T10:00:00+02:00'
pv_wh_estimate: 4023.75
Your one is a list and the other is dictanory.
I have no idea with this grab of jinja2 dsl how to cast or create a dic instead of a list
I don’t have multiple PV arrays so I can’t test but does something like this work? I’m a beginner at Jinja/templating (obviously adapt for wh_period, etc; this is an example for watts):
{% set sensor1 = state_attr('sensor.energy_production_today_2', 'watts') %}
{% set sensor2 = state_attr('sensor.energy_production_today_3', 'watts') %}
{% set ns = namespace(output={}) %}
{% for time, value in sensor1.items() %}
{% set ns.output = dict({time: value}, **ns.output) %}
{% endfor %}
{% for time, value in sensor2.items() %}
{% if time in ns.output %}
{% set ns.output = dict({time: ns.output[time] + value}, **ns.output) %}
{% else %}
{% set ns.output = dict({time: value}, **ns.output) %}
{% endif %}
{% endfor %}
{{ ns.output }}
Edit: Jinja is really ugly and I hate it.

This is a poll for how to handle the multiple PV array case:
- Support multiple PV arrays in this integration via
configuration.yaml - Have people resort to template sensors instead
0
voters
Context, the support is already implemented in Implement support for multiple PV arrays by rany2 · Pull Request #8 · rany2/open-meteo-solar-forecast · GitHub but needs changes on the HA side.

Did not work for me. This looks to work for me:
sensor:
- name: "energy_production_today_all"
state: >
{{ (states('sensor.energy_production_today') | float(default=0) + states('sensor.energy_production_today_2') | float(default=0)) | round(2) }}

{% set ns = namespace(output={}) %}
{% for time, value in sensor1.items() %}
{% set sum_value = value + sensor2[time] %}
{% set ns.output = dict({time: sum_value}, **ns.output) %}
{% endfor %}
{{ ns.output }}
wh_period: >-
{% set sensor1 = state_attr('sensor.energy_production_today', 'wh_period') %}
{% set sensor2 = state_attr('sensor.energy_production_today_2', 'wh_period') %}
{% set ns = namespace(output={}) %}
{% for time, value in sensor1.items() %}
{% set sum_value = value + sensor2[time] %}
{% set ns.output = dict({time: sum_value}, **ns.output) %}
{% endfor %}
{{ ns.output }}
Thanks for the hints
For the new peaktime I did also something ugly but work so far:
- name: "power_highest_peak_time_today_all"
state: >
{%set watts=states.sensor.energy_production_today_all.attributes['watts']%}
{%set highestWatt=namespace(value=0) %}
{%set endDate=namespace(value=0) %}
{%for date in watts %}
{%set watt = watts[date]%}
{%if watt>highestWatt.value%}
{%set highestWatt.value = watt%}
{%set endDate.value = date%}
{% endif %}
{% endfor %}
{{endDate.value}}
device_class: timestamp
@rany so iam happy with configuration.yaml it works 
Maybe anybody have an idea why the overall kwh in the apex chart is not working

Just keep in mind that sensor2[time] might not exist in some rare cases so you should make it default to 0 somehow.

This error originated from a custom integration.

open_meteo_solar_forecast.exceptions.OpenMeteoSolarForecastRatelimitError: Rate limit exceeded
1138 occurrences, it means there are 1138 api calls in 6 hours?
No it just retries until the rate limit is lifted, after it succeeds it polls the API every 30mins. I could make my personal Open-Meteo instance available to others for use if needed.
It’s caused by your IP being shared with others, Open-Meteo is popular outside of HA (apps like Breezy Weather use it) so you probably have a neighbor that’s into FOSS services.
ok good to know then i have to look how make a default value or is this possible to handle in the library?
What does it mean that my IP is being shared with others? Could it be because I am using cloudflared for remote access to home assistant? I would be glad if you could help me find a solution for this issue.
It’s really unrelated to this integration but I’ll explain in simple terms. Basically because there are only ~4B public IPv4 addresses available (and >8B people, servers, devices, etc) ISPs are forced to basically use something like NAT44 so that all their users could access the IPv4 internet. One of the many issues with technologies like NAT44 is that it means that a large chunk of the ISP’s users (sometimes even an entire city) would share the same IPv4 address. That is why your Open-Meteo quota is exhausted so quickly, there are other people also using Open-Meteo with the same public IPv4 address.
I’ve opened a discussion on GitHub to ask if API keys could be made available for free users, this way the quota is per-API key not IP address: API keys for the free Open-Meteo API · open-meteo/open-meteo · Discussion #843 · GitHub. If it doesn’t work (I’m 99% sure it’ll be rejected) I could just make my own personal instance available, I feel like I would probably be able to cope with the load.

Thank you for your explanation. I thought there could only be one public ip-address at the same time. I think there is no way for me to solve this problem, is it? It would be great if you could offer a solution. I tink 10 daily calls per instance (I have got four) should be enough at it was with solcast either.
I tried to use 4 Sensors to sum up but I get the following errors, perhaps you can help me out:

Maybe if you send the yaml code:
I see sensor 3 in the error code, but I see in my post no sensor3 here:
So if you have 4 sensor you have todo more sums
Apex Charts are nice, plotly graphs are better 
You’ll need to create some template sensors so its not a straight drop in.

If you are using the sensors provided by the integration you can replace the filters that generates the data i.e:
Replace
filters:
- fn: |
({meta}) => ({
xs: meta.wh_period.map(({ start }) => new Date(start)),
ys: meta.wh_period.map(({ value }) => value),
})
with
filters:
- fn: |
({meta}) => {
const entries = Object.entries(meta.wh_period);
const xs = entries.map(([start, _]) => new Date(start));
const ys = entries.map(([_, value]) => value);
return { xs, ys };
}
