Well, phooey... Can we not edit posts? Or is it because TomW edited mine?
I didn't realize / remember that iWeb creates PNGs (quite a bit larger than the original JPGs) for the embedded photos on my webpage and just linked to those. Been a long time since any other forum I use limited pics to 640x480 so didn't think of that either.
So I made some images just for this site, but can't change them above... Oh well...
And thanks, Zap. I have really enjoyed the Vantage Pro, well worth the money in my opinion. I just wish I had gotten the solar insolation sensor, may have to add that one sometime. I'd like to use it to improve the decision-making for when I can load more on the inverter or when I need to back off. It's a bit "sloppy" trying to rely solely on panel voltage / current...
I have lots more I'd like to add to the live system, just a matter of time and motivation showing up at the same time!
I think I'll be able to get my second smaller solar system online in a week or so - need to get an adapter, but it now has a Morningstar Suresine inverter which will talk Modbus RTU to the automation system so I can at least monitor battery voltage remotely. Don't use the inverter very much, but might wire the enable switch to a relay - then I could load it up during the day on sunny days too. Running out of loads for that sort of thing, though!
