There may be off-the-shelf solutions, I don't know. Mine are from 2015, and I can control and monitor them remotely. But I have custom hardware and software to achieve that.

Namreh Posted June 12, 2021 Author Share Posted June 12, 2021 Thanks Coulomb, Is it a difficult exercise to do this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Presumably, if you can find a good off-the-shelf solution, it would be pretty easy. I'm sure others have set this up. Hopefully someone will chime in soon.

They have what you are looking to achieve out of the said box plug & play system. You can buy their all in one Raspberry pi fully loaded & ready to plug in & connect to your inverter which uses your home WiFi network to record & provides also inverter controling remotely. Then if you are capable & already have a Raspberry Pi you can just download the software & use then insert the memory card into your own Pi & continue from there. I'm not sure how techno capable you are but a little Google fiddling can get you to speed about what the Raspberry Pi capabilities are & exactly also what type of device it is. Here is the link: https://solar-assistant.io/shop If you need help Pierre is the support specialist & he is also a member on this forum. His been extremely helpful in all of my Installations that I have setup so far for clients. There is also a program called ICC solar I think & they do a similar Raspberry Pi setup with some similar type of info displayed on a mobile device etc. They are also on here. I cannot comment on how their system works as I have no personal experience with them. Below is a screenshot of the solar assistant dashboard on my mobile phone... Thanks so much, will look into this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
