Logging Energy Production

Just started with solar pannels and of course immediately connected them to my Domoticz system.

In the logging of the solar panels I am missing the "Max Wattage per day", similar to the temparture logs. It would be interesting to see this value in the log reports, providing some extra information about the max sun capacity of the day.

Hi. I had my solar panels installed in 2011 and have been logging and monitoring my usage since then at https://pvoutput.org/. the site has more graphs and features than you can ever imagine and also allows you to compare your system with others. A couple of years ago I followed the Wiki for uploading energy data to PVoutput.org and now a LUA script uploads all the generation and consumption data to the site every 5 minutes. Works a treat. I can't add a link, sorry. My work PC blocks access to the Domoticz wiki.

This wiki page you mean?

Will look into it tonight, thanks.

However, still interested in the option within Domoticz ;)

In the forum-messages you find all kind of messages discussing solutions (and ;-) experiments to get a solution).
Just use the search-window with appropriate key-word to get hits ...
Some are duplicates of the solutions described in the Wiki-section, while others use different approaches.

Hmm, just thinking out loud. I am collecting data of my solar panels by a API from my Solar Edge monitoring site. Wouldn't it be easier to connect the Solar Edge directly to the PVOutput site. Will look if this is possible....

Edit: Yes it is, connected it already.
