# Solar Production Forecast

The Solar Production Forecast service predicts the amount of solar energy that can be generated from a solar power system at a specific location. It takes into account factors like solar radiation, cloud cover, and other environmental conditions to provide accurate solar production forecasts. 

By incorporating the Solar Production Forecast service into the recommendation platform, we can optimize recommendations based on expected solar energy availability.

## Types

The Solar Production Forecast generates events with the following types. This information is available for all customers of the recommender platform which provide a ZIP for their buildings.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://doc.moost.io/platform-manual/context-services/solar-production-forecast.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
