I miss the internet where people put useful stuff online and others could build on top of it, without everything needing an account or a pricing page.

I’ve been tinkering with some Home Assistant automations for my solar setup, and as part of that I ended up building an API that gives free hourly solar forecast & wholesale electricity pricing for any UK postcode, without any signup / api key / tokens / tracking

Hopefully, in some small way, it can help people make better use of their solar and have a positive environmental impact.
