Hi eLek, i have suggested you to use the solpiplog software that is working excellent on raspberry pi. Link is mentioned below. https://github.com/njfaria/SolPipLog your requirements 100% full-filled by this software. regards, M Salman Malik

Axpert VM III
Thank you Coulomb and plonkster, I will defiantly buy the kill-a-watt to get the actual watts that my solar inverter VM III is getting. I am getting some hope from yours (both of you) input that this inverer is not getting 255 Watts (1.11 * 230). As my avg load is 650 to 750 watts (in this winter season) and my panels are 2080 Watts (8*260). my panels can produce upto 1500 to 1600 watts in peak. and if my inverter getting 255 w from utility then that will not affordable for me. Right now for the safe side i am switching my inverter to SBU in morning and then SOL in evening. by doing this my inverter run load through bypass in evening and solar and battery in morning. Anyone can help me to changing the output source (SOL to SBU / SBU to SOL) automatically using any software or script that can i run in raspberry pi. Thanks.

Hi Coulomb, I am using UNI-T amp meter. and I just check the amp from my utility input to my inverter. I do not know about power factor, how i can check the power factor. As per me understanding my inverter is using: 1.11 * 230 = 255W.

Axpert VM III
Hello, I am using Axpert VM III 3kva. before this i was using Axpert MKS 5kva. This new model of Axpert VM III mix the utility and solar for the output. that is great feature. but i have seen a issue that is My batteries are full and consumption is less then generation and my setting is on SUB, but my system use 1.11 amp from the Utility. then i have changed the output setting to SBU. now my utiltiy usage is zero (0). and my solar run the utility. Now i have to change the setting in morning 7AM to SBU and then SUB at 5PM to get the maximum benefit. I think this 1.11 amp in operating amp for VM III but it should be use from solar or battery. Anyone can help me to tell me any software that can run on raspberry pi on which i can set the timer for that setting e.g. from 7AM to 5 PM setting should be SBU and then after 5PM setting should be SUB. Right now i am using SOLPIPLOG on raspberry pi. Thanks
