PV Output

If you upload PV Solar Generation or Power Consumption data to pvoutput.org then this app is for you.

To get started, you will need your System ID and API Key from your Account Settings (http://pvoutput.org/account.jsp). Both are towards the bottom of your system settings on pvoutput.org.

Adding your initial system will also configure your Master API Detail. All calls to PVOutput.org are made using the Master API detail unless you override the API key on a per system basis.

Pull out the Navigation Drawer to go to your system. From there, swipe left and right, up and down to change views.

If you use Efergy, view your live statistics by subscribing and adding a Live Feed.

Edit your system settings via the Systems sub-menu. Set it as the default to go straight into the detail view for that system every time you launch the app.

If you don't have live Intraday data, edit your system and turn off the Intraday pages. Manually add your daily data directly from the app.

Access to pvoutput.org data is governed by the pvoutput.org API limits and restrictions. Making a donation to pvoutput.org will provide API bonus features that this Android app takes advantage of but it is not mandatory for basic app functions.
