Batteryless inverter recommendation [RE-wrenches]

[Ryan Mayfield]

Fat Spaniel can communicate directly with some of the inverters out there
but not the PV Powered inverters. So they are independently monitoring at
least that one, but I can't tell much more from that link.

Hi Christopher. According to a recent article in Home Power on data
collection systems (HP121) Fat Spaniel data collection is independent of the
inverter.

But I do not know if they offer other services, so I cannot answer that
definitively, and you raise a good point. I hope David Katz is listening in,
he knows this project.
