W@P's Solar System

[Mzezman]

Just go solar-assist, the sunsynk software looks very meh.

My challenge is powering the Pi at the inverter location - might have to run a POE cable and get a Pi-POE hat

Connect it directly to the inverter.

Just for interest sake how would you do the sunsynk updates with Solar assist?

I assume the old wifi logger stays in place in the RS232 port. So any updates will still be done through that.
I would like to see the type of reports and parameters one can choose on the Sunsynk dongle. Anyone?

My understanding as well.

I ran 2 x long straight-thru network cable through the roof for the batteries and inverter to my studio and then used these 2 of these to connect the cables to the 1.5m cables that connects to the pi.

At this point you singlehandedly planted 2 forests!

Not a cloud in sight. I suspect the panels may be suffering from the heat.
