: Grid-Tie Stumper (SMA Data Logging) [RE-wrenches]

[Kent Sheldon]

Jeff, this scenario will only record instantaneous data. The inverter
has no data storage other than KWHR Total and some faults. To get
historical data you need one of the Sunny Boy Control products to act as
a data logger. Regards,

>And will it download historical as well as present data from the
Inverter?
