Hi Carl,
If using an Outback FNDC or a Bogart engineering pentametric meter,
and they are set up correctly, then yes it can provide state of charge.

Jason,
Is this system capable of reporting accurate state of charge?
Fatspaniel could not deliver this feature...

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.

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.
