Dry_Reef got a reaction from razzor13bt in Axpert King - 5Kva Upgrade…Thanks for all your responses guys.
Loks like it’s just easier to stay on the Mecer inverter and just expand if there’s no real reason other than quality to move to a Victron.

Dry_Reef got a reaction from TimCam in Hello, Newb Requiring some Monitoring & Solar ManagmentHello guys.
I have had my Solar Monitoring software for just over a month now.
I ended up going with the Centurion Solar Solution.
https://centurionsolar.co.za/solar-management-hub/
Its called SMH ( Solar Management Hub )
In short they supply a pre configured Raspberry Pi ready to go.
Literally just plug it in and away you go.
I can use anydesk if required to jump onto it , reboot or update etc.
updates come via a notifications and are as easy as clicking update.
The local web page that is provided has a ton of info to view everything in depth. Or go back and check logs etc.
I subscribe to the mobile App. R50 bucks a month but we’ll worth it.
shows all the standard info on one screen.
Live Data such as current solar charge, batter SOC , charging discharging , grid etc.
Also some history like max charge during the day.
Actual consumption.
Total Solar produced for the day.
Total grid consumed.
Then there is the option to dive into the logs and check history on a number of items.
On the main screen you can also click into the live consumption and get a more detailed live view on the last 60min worth of info in a graph that you can select or deselect on the fly. PV produced, grid , battery used etc.
All in I am very happy with the software.
Notifications are done via the app and also can be sent via Telegram.
Last Note. Support.
Yes I am a paying subscriber.
But when ever I have had a query.
I log a ticket via mail and every time it’s answered and resolved quickly.
I don’t know any other software or systems.
All I am familiar with is this system & I am very satisfied 👍🏻
