Carlsbad, to be exact. I have a 4.125 kWp system installed by SunRun, purchased through Costco. It's been operational for a little over a month and so far, it seems to be working well and I'm quite happy with the system.

Hello Glen and welcome to Solar Panel Talk, cheers.

Looking forward to seeing your generation reports. Welcome!

[Glen]

Thanks for the welcome!
Where do I post generation reports? February was a great month, I generated considerably more than I used

PVOutpug.org is great, and we even have a "team" of San Diego county systems to easily compare. What kind of inverter did they use? Fronius, SolarEdge, and Enphase share data easily, SMA takes more work but can be done.

I joined pvoutput the other day. Is there a way to upload data via a spreadsheet? And how do you I join the San Diego team (or is it automatic based on my location)?
My system uses a SolarEdge SE3800 which I know is easy to get data out of. Thanks.

Ok...looking at pvoutput again, I see how to join Team San Diego and how to automatically get data from my SE3800 into pvoutput. How do I obtain the API key?

That will need to come from your installer. It is free, but not directly available to a system owner.

Ok...got the key and data is uploading.

Awesome, Glen!

So...I got a Rainforest Eagle
Really cool device, I love how I can see real time usage from my phone!
Also have it setup with Wattvision and linked it to PVoutput so the numbers should start uploading soon.
