PVOutput

RNGBridge can publish the data read from your Charge Controller to PVOutput, thus making it accessible outside your local network as well as providing in depth charts and analytics of your system throughout the year.

Setup

  1. If you do not have a PVOutput account yet, create one here
  2. If you do not have a PVOutput system setup yet, create one here
  3. Go to your account settings and scroll down until you see API Settings
  4. Set API Access to Enabled
  5. If you do not see an API Key press the New Key button once
  6. Open the RNGBridge user interface and go to the settings menu by clicking the gear icon in the top right of the page.
  7. Click on the panel named PVOutput.
  8. Enable PVOutput.
  9. Copy the API Key from pvoutput.org and paste it into the API Key field of RNGBridge
  10. On pvoutput.org scroll down to Registered Systems and copy the System Id of the system you want to uplaod the data for and paste it into the System ID field of RNGBridge
  11. Depending on your Region enter the time offset from UTC of your local time zone in the Time offset from UTC field. (For Germany this is +2 in the summer and +1 in the winter due to daylight saving)
  12. If you verified your settings press the SAVE PVOUTPUT CONFIG button
  13. RNGBridge will reboot and try to fetch the update interval from pvoutput.org, sync the time and then upload your systems data every 5, 10 or 15 minutes (depending on what you set in the settings on pvoutput.org)
  14. The status on the RNGBridge settings page should display Starting followed by Syncing time followed by Running repeatedly followed by Sent data (hour:minute) where hour:minute is the timestamp of when the data was sent to pvoutput.org
