# Clear-Sky Solar Integration for Home Assistant

[![HACS Badge](https://img.shields.io/badge/HACS-Default-41BDF5.svg?style=for-the-badge)](https://github.com/hacs/integration)

Clear-Sky Solar provides calculated sensors for Home Assistant.

---

## Sensors

### Clear-Sky DHI

**Diffuse Horizontal Irradiance (DHI):**

The portion of solar radiation that reaches the earth indirectly due to scattering by water vapor, aerosols, and clouds.

**Unit:** Watts per square meter (W/m²).

### Clear-Sky DNI

**Direct Normal Irradiance (DNI):**

The portion of solar radiation that reaches the earth directly from the sun.

**Unit:** Watts per square meter (W/m²).

### Clear-Sky GHI

**Global Horizontal Irradiance (GHI):**

The total solar radiation per unit area measured on a horizontal surface on the earth. GHI is the sum of two components:

- Direct Normal Irradiance (DNI)

- Diffuse Horizontal Irradiance (DHI)

**Formula:**

![GHI Formula](https://latex.codecogs.com/svg.image?\pagecolor{white}\text{GHI}=\text{DHI}+(\text{DNI}\cdot\cos(\alpha_{\text{zenith}})))

**Unit:** Watts per square meter (W/m²).

## Usage

To use Clear-Sky Solar, follow the documentation for your preferred setup method.

### UI/Frontend (Config Flow)

- Access the integration setup via the Home Assistant UI.

---

## Installation

### Using [HACS](https://hacs.xyz/) (Recommended)

1. Open HACS in Home Assistant.

2. Go to the **Integrations** section.

3. Search for **Clear-Sky Solar** and install the integration.

4. Restart Home Assistant.

### Manual Installation

1. Clone the repository or download the source code:

    ```bash

    git clone https://github.com/lymanepp/ha-clear-sky-solar.git

    cd ha-clear-sky-solar

    # If you want a specific version, check out its tag:

    # e.g., git checkout 1.0.0

    ```

2. Copy the `custom_components` folder into your Home Assistant configuration directory:

    ```bash

    cp -r custom_components $hacs_config_folder

    ```

    Alternatively, extract the `custom_components` folder from the source release and place it in your Home Assistant configuration directory.

3. Restart Home Assistant.
