The `pvoutput` sensor platform consumes informations from [PVOutput](http://pvoutput.org/) which were uploaded by your solar photovoltaic (PV) system.

+
18
+
To add PVOutput details to your installation, add the following to your `configuration.yaml` file:
19
+
20
+
```yaml
21
+
# Example configuration.yaml entry
22
+
sensor:
23
+
- platform: pvoutput
24
+
system_id: YOUR_SYSTEM_ID
25
+
api_key: YOUR_API_KEY
26
+
scan_interval: 120
27
+
```
28
+
29
+
Configuration variables:
30
+
31
+
- **api_key** (*Required*): Your API key. A read-only key is fine.
32
+
- **system_id** (*Required*): The ID of your station.
33
+

It's recommended to set `scan_interval:` according to a value greater than 60 seconds. The service only allows 60 requests per hour but the sensor's default is 30 seconds.
