Show HN: PVBenchmark – Data-Driven Solar Analytics for DIY Grid Independence

Hi HN,

I built PVBenchmark to forecast and benchmark solar power generation at your exact location. It leverages data on panel orientation, tilt, and capacity to predict your system’s performance before installation—and for those already using solar, it lets you compare actual output against similar setups to pinpoint inefficiencies.

Originally a project for Germany, it now offers global forecasts and comparisons. Whether you’re looking to reduce grid reliance or simply optimize your current setup, I’d appreciate your feedback on making PVBenchmark even more useful.
