This issue is to add the function of PV solar generation forecast based on NOAA weather forecast using pvlib library

Does the NOAA database include solar radiation forecast data?
If you need to predict solar radiation using a model, Solar+ Optimizer has implemented a model for solar radiation based on pvlib and EnergyPlus models.

Hi Kun, Yes, NOAA has a solar radiation forecast. We have implemented it already in MPCPy, please check the class* WeatherFromNOAA(_Weather, utility._DAQ)* in exodata. Best, Zhe
