What is the problem?

When comparing the reported solar generation on Electricity Maps to either Entsoe or Pronovo on Swiss-Energy-Charts the solar generation might be too low. It is reported almost the same amount of solar generation every day, and it peaked at 888 MW yesterday and today, whereas it is more likely to be at around 2.3 GW.

This site might be a solution to the problem. It's just a extrapolation based on a few solar farms across Switzerland. However, it seems like it's far more accurate than what's shown on ElectricityMap.
