Seeing solar power become more accessible is what excites me most. I built Suncastic to answer a simple question I had myself: how much energy will my panels actually produce this week?

Suncastic combines real-time weather with a PV setup to deliver clear, hour-by-hour estimates — and I’m grateful to make it available to everyone for free.

How can Suncastic
help you plan your energy?

Plan energy usage

Know when your panels will produce the most power and schedule high-consumption tasks accordingly.

Optimize self-consumption

Pair forecast data with battery storage to minimize grid dependence.

Compare days at a glance

Daily summary cards show total yield, peak power, cloud cover, and weather conditions.

Model inverter clipping

Set your inverter’s max AC power so estimates reflect real-world curtailment.

Calibrate with actual output

Enter past meter readings and Suncastic adjusts future estimates to match your site.

Frequently asked questions

How accurate is the solar forecast?

Suncastic uses Open-Meteo weather data including cloud cover, irradiance, and temperature. Forecasts are generally reliable for planning within a 3–5 day window, though accuracy depends on your region’s weather model coverage.

What is PV output estimation?

It predicts how much electricity your solar panels will produce (in kWh) based on weather, system size, panel orientation, and tilt angle.

Do I need to sign up?

No. You can view a forecast for any location without an account. Signing in lets you save plant configurations, view multi-day forecasts, and use advanced features.

Can I use it for battery planning?

Yes. Hourly production estimates help you decide when to charge batteries, run appliances, or export to the grid.
