I was updating HACS bits today and HA displayed error message saying that oziee/ha-solcast-solar repository was removed as it does not exist anymore.
Tried accessing it on github and it appears to be gone?
Does anyone knows what happened to Solcast Solar integration?
Have a read here:
Yes
Is this the follow-up project? GitHub - BJReplay/ha-solcast-solar: Solcast Integration for Home Assistant

Hi, I have just had the same thing and now can not find the Solcast integration!
What’s happened?
I followed this and have it all working again GitHub - BJReplay/ha-solcast-solar: Solcast Integration for Home Assistant

Thanks, work for me too.
The BJReplay repository is currently awaiting a HACS pull request review before it can be included in the searchable integrations.
Until that time, all fixes and enhancements will be released as a beta version.
The current ‘latest’ release there is v4.0.31, with a ‘beta’ v4.0.34 under active community test. v4.0.35 is carrying an enhancement, and that shoud not be too far away.
So turn on the ‘beta’ releases slider in HACS download. There are performance and stability improvements for you to embrace, and an opportunity provide feedback (both positive and negative) in the discussions.

Great, deleted old, re-installed new from HACS and it`s working again. Thanks!
Much has been improved lately with the Solcast integration at BJReplay. 246 commits ahead of O’s v4.0.22. Much better stability and resiliency, plus other improvements.
A new v4.1 was released yesterday as ‘latest’, after a slew of increasingly stable, more performant, and feature-adding betas.
Not one issue has been raised, with well over 400 downloads so far.
We’re rocking 2025 @Darmach. >900 commits since Oziee 4.0.22.
v4.3.4 released today, and stability could not be better. The BJ repo is now the HACS default for Solcast.
Self assessment against the HA integration quality scale is Platinum. 100% PyTest code coverage. 100% adherance to Python strict type checking. >10,000 users.
Jump onboard.

Would you say this one is more accurate than Forcast.solar?
I’m pretty sure I configured mine correctly - the roof angle is taken from the construction design, the azimuth from construction maps. The angle can be slightly off, by a degrees, the azimuth is, I’d say, absolute.
And yet most often, the Forecast.solar is showing less than we’ll actually produce, which makes it hard to trigger the consumption on demand when production will exceed the battery+usages. For example, Tuesday was all right, and then comes Wednesday:
That’s why I’m looking for alternatives 
Will give it a try, have to check if I can have both of them deployed.
I would say that Solcast is more accurate, but the rooftop site config needs to be correct.
For azimuth make sure the values used are what is expected. Solcast treat North as zero degrees, with positive values for westerly facing, and negative for easterly. I believe forecast.solar treats South as zero degrees.
I have integrated Solcast into HACS. Where do I enter my Solcast API
All sorted! The saying ‘read the manual’ comes to mind. Dashboard allocated.
