Daily Outputs - PVOutput
PVOutput is a free service for sharing,comparing and monitoring live solar photovoltaic (PV) andenergy consumption data is a worldwide catalog of installed PV sites containing detailsof location, output, capacity, and efficiency. Individually,you can maintain data about the production of one or more sitesalong with voltage and consumption data.There is also an ability to use the service to capture and reportup to six additional data items with the ability to generatereal-time alerts based on simple rules. IoTaWatt supportsuploading in both the basic free mode and the extended donator mode.
But you don''t need to have solar generation to use the service.You can use it to upload consumption and voltage,as well as six more data sets in donator mode.So lets look at how to set this up with IoTaWatt.
First, you should review the local time offset specified in your IoTaWatt.IoTaWatt synchronizes with PVoutput using local time,including daylight time where applicable the Setup/Device display of IoTaWatt,set the time offset for your local standard time,then if your locale observes daylight time (or summer time)check the Allow Daylight Time box.
Click on the Add System link under Registered Systems at thebottom of the page. You really don''t need to enter much here to getstarted. The System Name should be something meaningful to you,but if you want to allow your PV data to be public,you might consider using a something that is not personally identifying.If you have no solar, you can check the Energy Consumption Only box.If you have solar and you fill in the details about your setup,PVoutput will report your efficiency and be able to compare it to similarsystems.
Under Live Settings, set the interval to 5 minutes and doublecheck that the timezone matches what you have set in IoTaWatt.Click Save. Note the System ID. IoTaWatt will need to know that.
It''s time to configure IoTaWatt to upload to the new account om within the IoTaWatt configuration app,click and then from the dropdown menu.
Complete PVoutput setup.
Copy and paste the API Key and System Id from the PVoutput system page.For now, set upload history from to a recent date like yesterday.Do not check the Reload History box.
All that''s left is to specify the data to upload.Under Status Outputs, click .
As you can see, it''s the standard calculator/script interface.The illustration shows the dropdown menu associated with the name.There are nine data items that can be uploaded. Of the nine,generation, consumption, and voltage are standard.The six extended_1(v7) through extended_6(v12) entries areadditional data that can be uploaded in donation mode.At a minimum, you will need to configure either generation,consumption or both.
Specify this if you have a solar PV system.Select the IoTaWatt input that measures your inverter output.
This is the amount of power you use.There are two general cases for this depending on wherethe solar power is introduced into your system.
If the inverter feeds in before the mains breaker,then consumption is simply the value of your mains:
If the inverter feeds in after the mains breaker,i.e. into a breaker inside your panel,then your consumption is the sum of the mains and the solar:
PVoutput will record and plot your voltage.Most users will simply use the channel_0 voltage input for this.
These are the extended values that you can record when you make adonation to PVoutput. Some of the PVoutput documentation refersto then as extended_1 through extended_6,other places they are called v7 through v12. They are the same.
When all of the outputs are specified, click .The PVoutput service will start and uploading will begin.You can monitor the progress in the PVoutput tab of the Status display.
PVoutput allows reloading of historical data subject to lookback limitsand maximum transaction rates. Once you are confident that yourconfiguration is correct and uploading what you want,you can upload whatever historical data may be in your data logs.To do this, select the date that you want to begin from,and click the Reload History box. When you press, the reload will begin.
If necessary, the starting date will be adjusted to coincidewith the contents of the data log. Up to 14 days of history can beuploaded in free mode while donator mode allows 90 days.
Large history uploads may pause due to hourly transaction limitsimposed by PVoutput.The message log will indicate these pauses and when to expect resumption.
When the reload is complete, you must reset the reloadhistory checkbox manually, or the data will reload after every restart.
We read every piece of feedback, and take your input very seriously.
Is it possible to download one year worth of data from pvouout ?
I am developing an app that analyses production within a day and by season but my system was only installed recently so I am looking for a way to get a full year worth of 5-min interval data for any system.
Any volunteers or suggestions on how to get that would be greatly appreciated
See https://pvoutput /help.html#api-getstatus
Hello Gaetano, did you manage to understand if it''s possible to download the data? I ask because I would also need a yearly data of a whatever plant for an university project and this website seemed interesting, but I can''t understand how (if) I can download the generation data
Sorry for the late reply. The notifications go to my junk folder
I haven''t tried but from the link posted by bankstownbloke, if you donate $15 to pvoutput , you have access specifying a siteID of any system in a GET request to the server and you can access data that is archived (older than 6 months). After making the donation, it seems that entering the following URL in your browser would return the detailed 5-minute data for an entire day
