more Dumping options and time shifting

[brych92]

Hi, is it possible to add 2 more dumping interval, to more precisely adjust production in the morning, an not to cut near noon production?
Like I need to reduce forecast in the morning, cause i leave near mountain and in the morning i loose some 1-2 hour, but if I will use morning dump, it also cut near noon forecast.

and also it looks like forecast shifted 1 hour in the future(most probably because "summer time" in my country)

without dumping

with morning dumping 0.6:

I have quite similar problem with a chimney shadow wandering over my panels in the late evening and i would appreciate more damping options.

The Problem i see here is the change in sun elevation. This results in different times for the shift in shadow and damping.

The only way to do this, is the horizon function, but this must be delivered by the api, since the azimuth is needed.

We will also need to calculate the GTI on our end instead of relying on Open-Meteo. It's a big overhaul.

Is open-meteo delivering the azimuth of the sun ? If not is there a way to do this?

Does dumping rely on open-meteo API, or it is calculated on site?

Currently dampening does not rely on open-meteo API. We only make use of the sunrise and sunset times provided to determine by how much to dampen.

could this be done with dividing morning in equal parts?
as example:
( noon - sunrise ) / 4 ?

with a "dividing"-variable it could also be sliced into user-defined time slices or hardcode a max value of 12.
maybe like this:

dividing_variable = 12
morning_slices = ( noon - sunset ) / dividing_variable
morning_slice_1 = sunset + 1 * morning_slices
morning_slice_2 = sunset + 2 * morning_slices
