Visualizations of data from my PV systems.

Currently, I just have scripts that clean up data exported from Green Mountain Power, and then perform basic visualizations and summaries.

My next step is to generalize the data pre-processor, so that the visualization script can can consume data from multiple data sources (e.g. I get data for my other system via My SunPower )

Process

My current (manual) process:

Data Prep

I perform these steps when downloading new data (1-2 times a month). This process is certainly more manual than it needs to be, but suffices for this hobby code:

• Download data from Green Mountain Power to my local machine
• Copy these files to the ./data folder in this repo
• Run ./util/remove-text-from-raw-files.bash locally to remove PID from the data files
• Add the new files to git and commit
• Copy data to my Google Drive folder (My Drive/Data/Solar)
• Open ./nb/Clean_GMP_Solar_Data.ipynb in Colab and run it. This produces a clean input file.

Visualization

• Open ./nb/Solar Viz.ipynb in Colab and run it. This generates a bunch of visualizations.
