MyPVPower.com Overview

CONVENIENT WEB-BASED MONITORING FROM PV POWERED
With the monitoring capability available on PVPowered's MyPVPower.com website the system user can view easy-to-understand summary tables and detailed graphical trends of voltage and power output over hourly, daily, weekly and monthly timeframes.

The MyPVPower.copm web-monitoring service is made available free-of-charge when the user registers with PV Powered to activate the system and provides annual updates of account information.

INFORMATIVE DISPLAY OF IMPORTANT PERFORMANCE INFORMATION
The main page on MyPVPower.com shows a summary of current weather conditions along with a table showing the most recent AC Power reading in kWp and AC energy production in kWh for today and over the system lifetime.

With the high-resolution graphical view of power and voltage levels many trend and transient details will be visible to the user so a wide range of FAQ topics and sample graphs of typical system problems is available to help with system diagnostics.

Here is an example of the power output graph from the energy page of mypvpower.com. This graph shows how voltage (line graph) from the solar panels and power output (area graph) from the inverter varies over the course of the day. Early in the day the voltage rises as the energy from the sun increases and is converted to voltage and current by the solar panels. As the energy from the solar panels increases the inverter comes on and produces AC power that is measured in kilowatts. In the middle of the day the power output reaches a peak and then declines as the energy from the sun decreases. The area under the power curve represents the amount of energy produced during the day and is reported in kilowatt hours. 

 To compare historical trends there is a data export capability included that allows the user to select a date range and export detailed energy production information from the database to check if system performance has changed over time.

QUICK ACCESS TO EXPERT SERVICE AND SUPPORT
When users have a performance related question about the system it is easy to activate a service request by filling out a short form accessible on mypvpower.com. System administrators have access to inverter operation parameters and status codes that can aid in diagnostics of performance questions.
