[RE-wrenches] SolarEdge

[frenergy]

I don't know about Solaredge, but Tigo has optional irradiance monitoring to 
compliment the module level performance monitoring that comes with their 
package (Maximizer at each PV, Gateway wirelessly collects info from 
maximizers and sends it to the Management Unit.  Info is then sent via 
ethernet to residence router).
