I've been using a BloomSky WiFi sky camera for a year or two now to have a quick glimpse at the sky for both wx observation and to better understand what my solar array is doing.
It is not technically a sky camera because there is not a full 360 degree view, however I still find it helpful. For example, this afternoon I was looking out one window at a blue sky, but my production dropped off significantly. Of course it was probably a cloud, but a quick glance at my BloomSky image told the whole story (one lousy cloud directly over the sun).
Also, past dusk, there is a "video" of 5 minute images from the day.
Anyway for those so gadget inclined, it's a handy tool (no affiliation, and the on board barometer can be sub par): https://www.bloomsky.com
It can report both to BloomSky and Weather Underground (WU)
