PV Bean Counter Description
PV Bean Counter is a handy and reliable software that helps you to extract yield data from photovoltaic array inverters.
It can handle multiple inverters of multiple types. It also extracts consumption data from energy meters.
The inverter yield and meter data is all stored in a local database. This data can be automatically uploaded to pvoutput.org. This is a free web site that allows you to record and display your energy generation and consumption data.
The latest version of PV Bean Counter includes a Windows desktop energy monitor component that provides real time visibility of the energy readings passing into the PVBC service. This component can be installed on multiple computers allowing energy display from any network connected Windows machine.
