PVLng - PhotoVoltaic Logger new generation

A logging and data warehouse system for measuring data of sensors and photovoltaic plants.

The system acts basely as a data warehouse.

In computing, a data warehouse (DW, DWH), or an enterprise data warehouse (EDW), is a database used for reporting and data analysis. Integrating data from one or more disparate sources creates a central repository of data, a data warehouse (DW). Data warehouses store current and historical data and are used for creating trending reports for senior management reporting such as annual and quarterly comparisons. Wikipedia:Data warehouse

All data will be stored in an very simple and efficient internal structure (readings), optimized for data readout of any kind with a well defined API interface.

Get started

Start with the introduction, design and concept or Quick start, check API description or browse all pages.

Supported systems

Data sources Data targets
  • Fronius inverters with ComCard
  • Kostal Piko inverters
  • Kaco inverters (RS485 yet)
  • OWFS, all sensors
  • S0 signals
  • Energy meters with D0 according to IEC 62056-21
  • SMA inverters and Sensorbox via Webbox
  • Weather underground
  • (Open weather map, but Weather undergound is suggested :-)

Some of them are described on the Scripts page.

Get it

The source of the logger system is hosted on GitHub

The system consists of 2 independend repositories

Please check before installation the hard- and software requirements.

A demo installation is available to get a feeling.

Get support

Help needed

  • Settings for other distributions than Debian
  • Settings for other web servers than Apache and Nginx

Contribute

  • For an account to edit articles with contact me.
  • Login and write articles.
  • All code contributions and bug reports are much appreciated.
    • The project is managed with the Git Flow branching model[1] and tools[2], so all pull requests must always target the develop branch!
    • Please use soft tabs (four spaces) instead of hard tabs
    • Include commenting where appropriate and add a descriptive pull request message
