SB monitoring problems, was: Monitoring PV for public... [RE-wrenches]

[William Miller]

Kirk:

Hmmmm.  Very thoughtful idea.....  Considering this....  Still, I'd like to
see the net production.

I've an e-mail in to John Berdner-- he may have a Plan B I was not
previously aware of.   I'm hoping the monitor that transfers data via the
power line does become available soon.  I have several other clients who
could use this.

In spite of minor problems with the inverter, the web site and delivery on
this monitor, I am at the head of the cheerleading section for SMA
products.  They are well built and work with minimum problems.
