Absolutely. I was just thinking of the people who don't know offhand how to install python modules.

Nice!

You might add a tiny quick start guide in the README, though.

I know, its not very complex code though. Just messy thanks to the missing API. Selenium is a hack way to do it but its stable and works.

SolarCity doesn't offer an API to download their data so I wrote a Selenium based tool to collect the data and save it and optionally upload it to PVOutput.org. If anyone is interested in it you can find it for free here:

I've been successfully monitoring with it and automatically tweeting etc for many months.
