DatasetsSolar power generation forecast - updated once a day

Solar

power generation forecasts for the next day. Forecast is updated every day at

12 p.m. EET. Length of the forecast is 24 hours. Solar forecasts are based on

weather forecasts and estimates of installed PV capacity and location in

Finland. Additionally, production measurements are used for forecasting

production of large-scale solar parks. Small-scale PV capacity is based on

yearly capacity statistics from the Finnish energy authority and estimates on

installation rate of new capacity. Location information is a very rough

estimate based on Finnish distribution grid operators information. The data

before 28.03.2024 is in hourly resolution.
