The `pvoutput` sensor platform consumes informations from [PVOutput](http://pvoutput.org/) which were uploaded by your solar photovoltaic (PV) system.
17+
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+
34+
<p class='note warning'>
35+
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.
