  • "Alexa, ask solar report for my daily energy production"

    I have written a beta Alexa Skill that allows you to ask Alexa for information from your solar panels. This is just in Developer stage and requires you to run some code on your own computers rather than in the cloud, but that could change in the future. It leverages off of PVOutput (https://pvoutput.org) so you first have to send data from your Inverter to PVOutput.

    The Alexa skill is on Github here - https://github.com/wayner9/alexa-solar-report

    The reason that I use PVOutput is that this makes the Alexa Skill agnostic as to your brand of inverter as PVOutput interfaces with the APIs of many types of Inverters.

    Good luck and please contribute to the repository.

    I'd love to use this. Could I set this up on a AWS instance instead of a local PC?

    I have an Echo Show, it would be great if I can see the graphs...

      I've been learning some Javascript to see if I can add some updates to this skill or write my own for Google Home. Curious if the OP has done some more development with it, as I haven't seen any activity in the Github since 2 years ago.
