Helios

Helios is a 3D solar card for Home Assistant that visualizes real-time sun position, cloud cover, PV production, battery status, and LiDAR-cast shadows on your home. It’s designed for homeowners with solar panels who want an immersive, at-a-glance dashboard to monitor energy generation and forecast. The project is interesting because it blends live weather data with 3D modeling to show exactly how shadows affect your panels throughout the day.
