I am using the Solar Forecast binding to predict how to operate my solar / battery system. I find that their data is not very useful for UK. So wondering if the UK data also includes solar forecasts?

A new version of this binding has been built here. This supports the latest API, while the current one goes through the PR process: https://github.com/dag81/vesyncOpenhabPyPort/raw/main/manual%20builds/MetOfficeDH-Builds-4.0/org.openhab.binding.metofficedatahub-4.0.5-SNAPSHOT.jar
