Software requirements

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.
