inverter data transfer[RE-wrenches]

Jeff -

Have you tried Fat Spaniel? I have yet to actually install a multi-inverter Fat Spaniel system (we have one under way) but my understanding so far is that it should be able to meet your needs. Let me know if you have hear otherwise.

Subject: RE: inverter data transfer[RE-wrenches]


We are designing a mid-sized grid-tied system for a University building under construction which will have several separate inverters.  They are adding a large flat screen monitor system (by others) that will display school event schedules and other information in the lobby and want to include a "window" that shows real time data for the pv system.  We have tied several Fronius inverters together in the past which have an optional data card and connected to a desktop computer which worked well, but you still needed an operator to download and graph the data.   I wanted to see if anyone out there has anything newer and easier, that does not require any computer operator to update or graph the data.  

To reduce wire runs, I was thinking of some type of "black box" small computer without a screen or keyboard that we could mount next to the inverters located in the mechanical penthouse and let the computer be a node on their local area network which also allow access by others in the science classrooms.   I have seen these before but thought maybe somebody has finally put a complete data package together and I won't need to get out the soldering iron and data converters.

Thanks,

Jeff Yago
