 The model is a gradient boosted tree model and uses 9 NWP variables.

 8. **Cloud Cover mid (%)**, or mcc : Percentage of the sky covered by clouds at mid altitudes. 
 9. **Cloud Cover high (%)**, or lcc : Percentage of the sky covered by clouds at high altitude
 
+We also use the following features
+- poa_global: The plane of array irradiance, which is the amount of solar radiation that strikes a solar panel.
+- poa_global_now_is_zero: A boolean variable that is true if the poa_global is zero at the current time. This is used to help the model learn that the PV generation is zero at night.
+- capacity (kw): The capacity of the PV system in kw.
+- The model also has a feature to check if these variables are nans or not.
 
+The model also use the following variables, which are currently all set to nan
+- recent_power: The mean power over the last 30 minutes
+- h_mean: The mean of the recent pv data over the last 7 days
+- h_median: The median of the recent pv data over the last 7 days
+- h_max: The max of the recent pv data over the last 7 days
