# PVOutput

> PVOutput is a built-in integration for Home Assistant. It has 493 installs sharing analytics and needs the vendor's cloud.

PVOutput is a built-in Home Assistant integration that reads solar system data from the PVOutput cloud service. It adds sensors for efficiency, energy consumption, energy generation, power consumption and power generation. Setup happens in the user interface and asks for an API key and a system ID. Because the data comes from the vendor's cloud, an internet connection is required. A diagnostics file can be downloaded and attached to a bug report.
