Mutli-PV System Support

[spoonwzd]

As it is not possible to accurately forecast PV systems that are built from multiple arrays, my estimates are unreliable and hugely affect the effectiveness of @BJReplay's otherwise awesome utility.

It would be great if PwS was able to cater for this configuration by adding the estimates of both systems together while ensuring the estimate never exceeds a specific limit at each estimation interval in the JSON feed. Hopefully this is simple enough to add.

In terms of configuration variables, I perceive something like:

Currently: PVSystemLongitude PVSystemLattitude PVSystemCapacity PVSystemTilt PVSystemAzimuth PVSystemInstallDate

Proposed: PVSystem1Longitude PVSystem1Lattitude PVSystem1Capacity PVSystem1Tilt PVSystem1Azimuth PVSystem1InstallDate PVSystem2Longitude PVSystem2Lattitude PVSystem2Capacity PVSystem2Tilt PVSystem2Azimuth PVSystem2InstallDate PVSystemCap

PVSystem1 results + PVSystem2 results (ensuring PVSystemCap is not exceeded at any Solcast output interval when results are added together) = Accurate PV reporting!

What help do you need @BJReplay ?

Really? Why? The code already exists, so isn't it just a case of duplicating it with altered variable names and then a simple mathematical function to combine the results before the rest of the code carries on as per usual?

I'm not a coder, but I understand the principles and logic. This doesn't seem difficult to me.

If it's incentive you need, I would be willing to financially contribute a donation towards development efforts!

Thanks @livenoise - these changes are working great!
