# Solaredge Forecast integration

Home assistant custom integration that forecasts the overall solar energy production over a specified timeframe
using historical data from SolarEdge. The integration is using the
[Solaredge library](https://pypi.org/project/solaredge/).

NOTE: To forecast the overall solar energy production over a period of time, there must be a minimum of 1 year of
historical data available for each month within that period.

## How to install

1. Make sure you have [hacs](https://hacs.xyz/) installed
2. In the HACS panel search for 'Solaredge forecast' and click on the orange download button.
