Hi Dan,
A far as off grid system data monitoring, especially with Outback
gear, I really like the products from Julie Haugh at greenHouse
computers. http://www.greenhousepc.com/greenMonitor.html The
technical support is incredible. The software is highly
programmable, reliable, and keeps power consumption to a minimum.
The data gathered can be viewed in spreadsheets, graphs, plots,
mobile browser, email notifications, etc. without all the more flashy
CO2 offset numbers like a fat spaniel readout. Out of all the
products she offers, the gmMate which allows an Outback mate to be
viewed on a computer off site, and the gmLite, which is a little
data monitor that runs off the AUX output from an Outback FX/VFX are
my favorite.
Best,

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.
