I've got one I can recommend staying away from. GreenMeter. It was a decent service, works with AC or DC monitoring and I still get a daily output report, but after 3 merger/takeovers there's nobody left who knows the system, it's purely running on inertia. Had some trouble a few months ago, in the midst of which the current owners "tech support" sent me the master file which unlocks EVERY GreenMeter user's data and system settings! I didn't, and wouldn't, mess with anyone but they sure made it easy! Also couldn't help noticing that of the couple thousand meters sold, only a handful are still active.
So if anyone knows of an internet-based service that can monitor DC (my 5.5kW Outback system) *and* AC (my 6.0kW Fronius IG Plus system), I'd appreciate hearing about it.

In addition to the excellent information being posted here on monitoring grid-tied systems, I would be curious to know what products Wrenches have used and would recommend (or not) -- and why -- for web-based monitoring of systems that include battery banks, whether grid-tied islanding or off-grid.
