I tried to do things like this in my home. It turns out for washers, dryers and dishwashers you should just set a timer to start at noon.
Once you've started an appliance on a cycle it's going to keep running, even if the sun goes behind a cloud. So you don't need to start it when the instantaneous solar power is at its highest, you need to start it when the predicted next two hours of solar power are at their highest.
And it turns out you don't need complex monitoring to figure that out.
