## Unreleased
### Added
- New PV forecast providers giving operators more cloud forecast sources to choose from in
addition to Akkudoktor, VRM and Import:
- `PVForecastPVNode` — native 15-minute forecasts from the pvnode.com API.
- `PVForecastForecastSolar` — forecasts from the free Forecast.Solar API.
- `PVForecastSolcast` — forecasts from the Solcast rooftop-site API.
## 0.3.0 (2026-03-17)
Akkudoktor-EOS can now be run as Home Assistant add-on and standalone.

The data may additionally or solely be provided by the

### PVForecastPVNode Provider
The `PVForecastPVNode` provider retrieves native 15-minute PV power forecasts from the
[pvnode.com](https://pvnode.com) V2 API. Register a site in the pvnode web app and store the API
key together with the site id in the EOS configuration (saved-site mode). Alternatively, leave the
site id empty to send the configured `planes` geometry inline.
```python
{
"pvforecast": {
"provider": "PVForecastPVNode",
"provider_settings": {
"PVForecastPVNode": {
"api_key": "your-pvnode-key",
"site_id": "your-site-id",
"forecast_days": 2
}
}
}
}
```
The prediction keys for the PV forecast data are:
- `pvforecast_ac_power`: Total AC power (W).
- `pvforecast_dc_power`: Total DC power (W).
### PVForecastForecastSolar Provider
The `PVForecastForecastSolar` provider retrieves PV power forecasts from the free
[Forecast.Solar](https://forecast.solar) API. No API key is required for the public endpoint; an
optional key raises the rate limit. The location is taken from `general.latitude`/`longitude` and
the system geometry from the configured `planes` (one request per plane, summed per timestamp).
```python
{
"pvforecast": {
"provider": "PVForecastForecastSolar",
"provider_settings": {
"PVForecastForecastSolar": {
"api_key": null
}
}
}
}
```
The prediction keys for the PV forecast data are:
- `pvforecast_ac_power`: Total AC power (W).
- `pvforecast_dc_power`: Total DC power (W).
### PVForecastSolcast Provider
The `PVForecastSolcast` provider retrieves PV power forecasts from the
[Solcast](https://solcast.com) rooftop-site API. Register a rooftop site in the Solcast web app and
store the API key together with the resource (site) id in the EOS configuration. Note that the free
tier limits the number of API calls per day.
```python
{
"pvforecast": {
"provider": "PVForecastSolcast",
"provider_settings": {
"PVForecastSolcast": {
"api_key": "your-solcast-key",
"site_id": "your-resource-id"

The prediction keys for the PV forecast data are:
- `pvforecast_ac_power`: Total AC power (W).
- `pvforecast_dc_power`: Total DC power (W).
