There’s logging and then there’s logging. Most inverters offer their own cloud based solution for you to draw data off of. The question should rather be, what it is you want to do with logging? Because for most people they study the stats religiously for the first few weeks then lose interest. As long as it works they couldn’t care less.
Now, if you want to start doing automations, it becomes a completely different discussion.
In my case, I got a Goodwe (PS. Don’t buy Goodwe). Because I needed more granular data than what was offered by the cloud based solution, it required development of an integration into HA. It’s a work in progress but it’s now powerful enough to prove to Goodwe that their firmware is up to sheet. Not that they give a toss, but I didn’t know it at the time.
Anyway, it does allow some pretty impressive automations to be done and it allows me more control over how the inverter uses the batteries for example.
My point is, logging is all nice and all. But it’s pointless if you not going to use it in a smart way.
