That is just going to lead to confusion and complaints from the homeowner. I was hoping the Sol-Ark could feed SOC and voltage information to a simple external display. I'm leaning toward the cheap tablet idea, but that isn't ideal because the Sol-Ark app doesn't automatically refresh, so it can't be used to display the current SOC without physical interaction. I suppose I could use a web browser with an auto-refresh feature.
