Hi all. I’ve been reading about the raspberry pi and wanted to install one to my inverter to be able to remove the laptop I have running 24/7 with the watchpower program running. 
 

what is the recommended model of the pi I should get and how would I go about setup. 
 

do I just install windows on it, is this possible or is there some other form of os ? 
 

appreciate your assistance

@Doron,

From the ICC www.:

ICC Pi compatible Raspberry Pi devices:

  • Raspberry Pi 2
  • Raspberry Pi 3/3B
  • Raspberry Pi 3B+
  • Raspberry Pi 4

Personally, I wouldn't go for less that a 3B+, specially if you have other cpu sapping app's you are going to run.

thanks. i will get a Pi 3B+ then. how would i go about installing a OS/ or what i the recommended OS to be installed onto the Pi. i want to be able to monitor the inverter to see voltage, what the PV is generating etc. and all this through a remote log in like any desk or some other form.

Don't worry about O/S's..Just go with the default, then O/s is transparent...

Quick overview:

You download the image from iccsoftware.co.za.

Burn image on SD card.

Boot Pi with SD card. Connect keyboard & screen.

Configure Pi for your LAN/Wifi environment (to "see" the Internet)

Connect Type B USB cable to inverter & Pi.

Run ICC(should run Automatically)

Get Machine ID

E-mail ICC to get temp/permanent license key.

The "Help" page on ICCSoftware.co.za has got this all. Just read there.

 

Configure VNC for remote access as well.

 

Later you can try running Windows10 on another pi (4 with 4GB RAM recommended), if you that way inclined, but ICCSoftware are only developing upgraded/fixes on the linux version.
