Gerald_db Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 Just for interest who has got their solar output live online to pvoutput.org? After a bit of fiddling I got my site online and shot to number 1 for SA. There have to be others bigger than me. http://pvoutput.org/intraday.jsp?id=49819&sid=45346 Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gerald_db Posted April 24, 2016 Author Share Posted April 24, 2016 I see that for some reason my live data graph time is running 1 hour ahead of SA time even tho my temperature data is the correct time. Any ideas what I have set wrong. Has been correct up to today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 Daylght saving could be affecting this if you have not set the timezone correctly in PVO. Country under system settings and Timezone under Live Settings. Chris Hobson 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtjaden Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 Hi What are you Guys using to output to PVOutput.org? I've been trying to purchase Solarmon but it seems the Paypal link does not work and sending emails gets no responses from the solarmon guys. AICC do not work for me i cannot select ports when running the application. My system Axpert 24 Volt 3KVA plus (1500w pv) 1530w PV (2 strings 3series 255w panels) 200AH 24v battery bank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Hobson Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 I have the USB version of SolarMon and am very happy. I found Ed has bent over backwards to provide a good alternative to WatchPower. Try and PM on this forum (edmundp). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im using 6 Renesola vurtus2 255W panels got them for a good price from www.solarsolved.co.za in cape town but no stock at the moment. 2 strings of 3 panels runs at about 84v at max power running my zodiac flow pro pool pump, geyser heatpump , all house lights and some plugs from a sub db fed by the inverter I get around 1.1 kw midday from the panels currently, thinking of maxing the charge controller by adding another string of 3 X 255w panels.

wtjaden Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 It sould yes There's guys in Australia that have hooked up 9 250W panels to a Axpert MKS plus 24V 3kva in 3 strings of 3 panels if the output from the panels gets more than 1500W the MPPT controller will just take what it can it wont go over 60 amps.
