Importing NREL Solar Models in to EmonCMS

The National Renewable Energy Laboratory has a fantastic formula for calculating energy production based on system specifications such as your location, number of panels, tilt angle, ect. http://pvwatts.nrel.gov/ For our purposes it would be very useful to incorporate this data into our EmonCMS feeds. Our first thought was to create a virtual feed that generates the daily energy production curve as needed. However, as we learned from our EMC2 project, virtual feeds are not really set up for th…
