    Really interesting to see it like that, I'd be interested in getting software which could log my generation like that.

    You just need a way of squirting the data from your inverter up to there.

    You can also add generation with the correct bit of kit too.

    Plenty of help in their forum: https://forum.pvoutput.org/
    And also in their documentation: https://pvoutput.org/help.html

    Although did max out the inverter a 3.68 for the briefest of minutes around 1pm! :)

    Sad day today by all accounts with only..2.5 O's...:(...coffee.gif
    2.5 kWp PV system, SSW facing, 45 Deg Roof. ABB Inverter, Monitor: 'Wattson'.
    Reg. for FIT Nov 2011. "It's not what you generate; it's how you use it that matters". One very clean Vauxhall Diesel Sri, £30.00 Road Tax: B)

    Definition of 'O's = kWh/kWp (kWh = your daily & accurate Generation figure) (kWp = the rated output of your PV Panels).

    I'm working away from home at the moment so I can't remember for sure the make and model of my inverter, I have contacted the company who sold me the array for me and asked them what they would suggest...
