[RE-wrenches] Monitoring on Remote Sites

[AE Solar]

Wrenchers,
We have a project on a large property, where the install site has no
internet (there is internet much further away on the property, and on a
different service) and cell reception is pretty bad. We attempted to use
SMA Cell Modem Kits (sunny boy inverters), but couldn't get a good enough
signal for them to work. The client was fine with having just a production
meter with no internet based monitoring. Now there is the possibility of
expanding the system quite a bit (also with Sunny Boy's), and I'd prefer to
figure out a way to monitor everything from offsite. Has anyone had
any success using a third party antenna with the SMA Cell Modem Kits? Or
have thoughts on other methods for setting up monitoring where we could, at
a minimum, see the combined output of all the inverters? Thanks for any
thoughts.
