Hi Thea,

The time can easily be saved to a variable,

but to use it as a time condition is not easy without Homeyscript (as far as I know)  
But, I got this idea using the [Sun Events app](https://community.homey.app/t/app-pro-sun-events-update-sdk3/71043), the flow automatically determines if the panels _should_ produce power but don’t, it then sends a push message:
