Hi,

First off, a quick stab in the dark, have you installed 
pyephem(http://weewx.com/docs/setup.htm)? Pyephem is required to calculate 
maxSolarRad otherwise it will always be None/null.

No reason why calculated values can't be added, as long as (1) the calculated 
field actually appears in the weeWX produced archive record and (2) there is a 
field of that name in the archive. Might be worth checking what is in your 
archive records by running weeWX directly 
(http://www.weewx.com/docs/usersguide.htm#Running_directly) and looking at the 
lines starting with REC (will appear once every archive period). Is there a 
macSolarRad field and does it have a value?

As for wee_database, sure it is very simple to add a field using tools like 
myphpadmin, but it is equally easy to screw things right up. Wee_database helps 
avoid such issues.

Gary
