PV Calibration feature
Predbat now supports automatic calibration of your PV generation by comparing actual generation over the last 10 days against forecast it will calibrate future forecasts. This feature can be enabled with switch.predbat_metric_pv_calibration_enable.
You can see the calibrated data in the PV and PV7 charts, but the calibrated one will only be used by Predbat when this toggle is enabled.
Forecast.solar support
Added support for using forecast.solar as a PV prediction source rather than Solcast, this can be useful as there is a free account with no signup required but it is not as accurate as Solcast in the free edition, which is where PV Calibration will be quite useful :)
Keep in mind the free server limits your API calls to 12 per hour.

forecast_solar:
- postcode: 'BS48 3DW'
