Solar power system monitoring logging systems

[Saba'a]

For Sunsynk inverter the options I am aware of are:

1. Solarman app and logger
2. Sunsynk app and logger
3. Solar Assistant and raspberry pi logger

Some questions:
1. Can one transfer historical data from solarman app to Sunsynk app OR Solar Assistant?

2. Can one connect all 3 simultaneously?

I know one can connect at least 2 eg Sunsynk/Solarman logger AND Solar Assistant Raspberry pi based logger.

3. Can one update Sunsynk inverter via Solar Assistant?

Can be done via solarman logger by Sunsynk and on Sunsynk logger by oneself.

Not sure of Solar Assistant.

Currently Solar Assistant cannot import historic data and does not offer furnware upgrades. Not sure if its in their product roadmap

And import from Solarman to Sunsynk logger?

One can upgrade inverter from Sunsynk app but not Solarman. So in that sense Sunsynk better than Solarman.

Installers can upgrade using Solarman

Wonder if I attend the sunsynk course if I can register as an installer to manage my own system.

@AchmatK helped all of us so now I can manually change all settings for mine on the app etc

Interesting.
How many use the Sunsynk app?

I regretably wish to inform you that due to ongoing Silicon shortage, Raspberry pi's are officially impossible to source. I have 3 and they are locked away in my safe.

Not sure. Ito value for money monitoring the Solar Assistant better.

As most have the Solarman logger, the Sunsynk logger not much more benefit than the Solar Assistant.

Ito upgrading software, either get registered as installer to upgrade yourself or just send an email to Sunsynk whenever upgrade required.

In my opinion, upgrading software not a major issue.

 

[Saba'a]

I'd rather have Solar Assistant for real time updates and richer data.

But even that is hardly a major issue. Its just that I prefer up to date information.

If I can get a raspberry pi 3 or 3B, I'll probably get solar assistant.
