Software requirements
- Operating system with support of periodic job scheduling (for example *nix with cron)
- MySQL ≥ 5.1 (supports table partitions, views, trigger, functions, procedures and events)
- PHP ≥ 5.3
- Web server with PHP support, tested with Nginx (recommended), Apache and Litespeed
See also these hints for details!
Hardware requirements
- A server, which fits the software requirements :-)
A Raspberry B with a 4 GB SD card works fine for me as scripts server connected to a central frontend/API sever. - Some sensors, like 1-Wire sensors, watt meters with S0 or D0 outputs
- Solar inverter which supports either
- live query of data (SMA Webbox, Fronius, Kaco, Kostal)
- write data in short intervals (quasi-live) somewhere
Installation
The system is devided into 2 repositories, the PVLng core repo with web frontend and API and the PVLng-Scripts repo with the data aquisition and extraction scripts.
- Installation instructions for PVLng core repository
- Installation instructions for PVLng-scripts repository
Upgrade PVLng frontend
Your can upgrade your installation at any time with
tools/upgrade.git <branch>
This works with master and develop
- Checkout the lastest changes from GitHub
- Apply outstanding database patches if any
