## Description

Loadshedding driving you to solar? Now see exactly what your panels will produce tomorrow. Daily kWh forecasts tailored to your install — only on Ubuntu Weather.

Weather built for South 

Ubuntu Weather is the weather app that understands SA-specific things you actually need: load-shedding schedules, SAWS severe weather warnings, the forecast at your favourite sport's venue, and now, the daily  output you'll get from your rooftop 

NEW: SOLAR GENERATION FORECAST                                      
Set up your panels once — panel count, wattage, tilt, compass direction — and Home shows daily kWh production for the week ahead. Tap any day to inspect its hourly curve. Supports E/W pitched-roof splits,  optional inverter capacity caps for DC-oversized hybrid installs, and sun-hours comparisons

LIGHTNING PUSH ALERTS (PREMIUM)
