    I wonder when people will get bored of monitoring their daily solar kWh generation - a few months, a few years, never?

    I have hooked up my sunny boy inverter to http://www.pvoutput.org/, it automativlly updates it every 10 minutes. So I can check how I'm doing anywhere that has web access.

    It takes all the generation data held in the inverter and uploads it.

    If your lookiung to monitor USEAGE then you need a different service such as google powermeter or alertme.com
