⚠️ This project is a working-in-progress

This aim of this project is about making a global solar forecast. We want to make a 0-48 hours forecast for every country in the world. 

We need to get the solar capacity for every countries, and then create a solar forecast.

We get the **solar capacities** from mainly from Ember and add a few in manually. 

The **solar forecast** is very simple, 

- as it assume one solar panel in the middle of the country, 

- then we scaled it to the capacity of the country

- We use `open.quartz.solar` which is for domestic solar, and uses free weather forecasts.
