After looking at their Member section, it seems unlikely that they are pursuing the off grid portion of the industry. I see that Outback Power is a member but the rest are related to grid tie.

Perhaps the new UCM bridge module will help. Here's a quote about it from this page http://www.blueskyenergyinc.com/products/details/ucm/ "A standard Modbus RTU interface is provided both as isolated RS-485 and TCP\IP Ethernet based Modbus/IP. Additional Ethernet connectivity includes a built in HTTP web site server allowing data view and parameter setup with a standard web browser either locally, or globally over the Internet without a subscription. The ability for periodic real time FTP data upload to a remote server is also provided."

It would be helpful if the charger network could talk to a Mate or an SCP, but I doubt that will ever happen. Here's an idea: A standard CAT5 protocol for exchanging data/settings in RE equipment.

With up to 8 controllers on the network, you can have multiple arrays and orintations. Their new Duo model will function as hydro or wind diversion control. AND, each controller has a fully programmable lighting control! Sounds like this is the controller to meet all your requests. We have sold hundreds and I highly recommend them. > > Larry Crutcher > Starlight Solar Power Systems > (928) 342-9103 > www.starlightsolar.com _______________________________________________ List sponsored by Home Power magazine List Address: RE-wrenches@lists.re-wrenches.org Options & settings: http://lists.re-wrenches.org/options.cgi/re-wrenches-re-wrenches.org List-Archive: http://lists.re-wrenches.org/pipermail/re-wrenches-re-wrenches.org List rules & etiquette: www.re-wrenches.org/etiquette.htm Check out participant bios: www.members.re-wrenches.org _______________________________________________ List sponsored by Home Power magazine List Address: RE-wrenches@lists.re-wrenches.org Options & settings: http://lists.re-wrenches.org/options.cgi/re-wrenches-re-wrenches.org List-Archive: http://lists.re-wrenches.org/pipermail/re-wrenches-re-wrenches.org List rules & etiquette: www.re-wrenches.org/etiquette.htm Check out participant bios: www.members.re-wrenches.org
