Solar Dashboard for owners of residential solar systems that use compatible Enphase Energy microinverters. Dashboard was designed with free version of API and can only access system summary and microinverter telemetry data. With paid subscription or installer partner plan many more options, including live data, are available. Current outputs display as a graph with the last 288, five minute, intervals, filtering only non-zero intervals for display. There is a status section that shows the status message from the API call. It also converts lifetime production into kWh and total trees grown for 10 years from seedlings. And has a picture of Bob Ross. Other comedic output can be added to keep user engagement up. See examples near the bottom.

• $ clone project from github (https://github.com/pletourneau/enDash)

• $ cd enDash

• $ npm install

• register app with enphase (https://developer-v4.enphase.com/admin/applications) to get API Key, Client ID, Client Secret to use below in environment variables

• encode the Client ID and Client Secret into base64 (following instructions in step 8 here https://developer-v4.enphase.com/docs/quickstart.html) at this website https://www.base64encode.org/ and save the result as an environment variable

• get System ID from residential solar system owner with compatible Enphase Microinverters

• set up account on Heroku (or host of your choosing) https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/heroku-cli

  NOTE: This app will not work locally without significant changes. The API will not exchange the code for a token with a "localhost" uri. If you decide to try this route you will need to use Enphase's default URI and pop it out in a different window and have the user copy and paste the code into another page you will need to create.

• $ heroku create

• set environment variables on Heroku in dashboard OR heroku config $ heroku config: set varName=value

• $ git push heroku main

• $ heroku open

• $ npm start

• Refresh token is not currently used. Code is outlined, but not correct
• System ID is currently hard coded as an env variable. For production releases that should be an input

• These are pictures of sample output to keep users engaged with app
