Overview
PVOutput is a free online service for sharing and comparing photovoltaic solar panel output data. It provides both manual and automatic data uploading facilities.
Output data can be graphed, analysed and compared with other PVOutput contributors over various time periods. The ability to compare with similar systems within close proximity allows both short and longer term performance issues to be easily identified.
While PVOutput is primarily focused on monitoring energy generation, it also provides equally capable facilities to upload and monitor energy consumption data from various energy monitoring devices.
Both solar generation and energy consumption data can be combined to provide a 'Net' view of energy being either generated or consumed live.
