# Solar Electricity Nowcasting
# Quartz Energy
### A set of forecasting products driven by the exciting modelling work in Open Climate Fix and the community

The code is as open source as we can possibly make it (safely) and is powered by various forecast APIs, which are also available as services under the same Quartz umbrella.

This is a "meta-repository" for [Open Climate Fix](https://openclimatefix.org/)'s solar electricity nowcasting project. See [this great Wired article about OCF's solar electricity forecasting work](https://www.wired.co.uk/article/solar-weather-forecasting) for a good intro to solar electricity nowcasting.
Head to [quartz.solar](https://quartz.solar) to find out more or to get in touch about using our Production services.



## Solar Electricity Nowcasting UI

The `nowcasting-app` is the repository for [Open Climate Fix](https://openclimatefix.org/)'s solar electricity nowcasting project. See [this great Wired article about OCF's solar electricity forecasting work](https://www.wired.co.uk/article/solar-weather-forecasting) for a good intro to solar electricity nowcasting.

The plan is to enable the community to build the world's best near-term forecasting system for solar electricity generation, and then let anyone use it! :) We'll do this by using state-of-the-art machine learning and 5-minutely satellite imagery to predict the movement of clouds over the next few hours, and then use this to predict solar electricity generation.
