SolarBites - let's use the energy of the Sun!

SolarBites is simple service for predicting electricity production from (mostly) small and offgrid home photovoltaic systems.
It sends 3-days electricity production forecast with consumption tips every morning directly to your email.

Project and goal

Project was freely growing among the group of 1 man - me. It started like one part of home project for better battery management on my own solar system. Later it transformed into the form of this web service.
Main goal of this project is to easily serve simple information how to deal better with our own consumption and help use more energy from solar systems just by changing our habits.
Of course there are future plans - mobile application, new features, more meaningful data, consumption automation.

Author

My university studies in the field of automation and control systems, later work on SCADA systems, data measurements, acquisition and processing or systems modeling gave me necessary experience and ideas.
Interest in nature, permaculture, hiking and backcountry skiing inspired me to start projects in green tech with focus on consumption and try to change the way we use energy. That is one easy but underestimated way to preserve our planet.

Motivation

Motivation at the beginning for me was need to know, what happens in next hours and days, which is important for my battery management. It turned out, its good to know forecast in whole field of renewable energy. It is useful (not only) for
