I have weewx with the mqtt extension and sdr driver. I haven't solar sensor but if i see the mqtt messages it appear the solar radiation. How is it posible? And the data seems correct.Now we are going towards noon and the radiation grows

If the name of the mqtt variable is maxSolarRad, it is not a measurement but the value of the maximal solar radiation expected for your location and calculated by weewx.

If you don't need the value, you can remove the "maxSolarRad line in the section [StdWXCalculate] [[Calculations]] of weewx.conf.
