[RE-wrenches] State of Charge Meter for Sol-Ark

2024-02-04 Thread Jason Szumlanski via RE-wrenches
Are there any off the shelf solutions to view battery SOC via a wired meter
mounted remotely on a property? I have a client with a simple voltage based
meter for lead acid batteries that they are accustomed to using as a quick
and approximate gauge of SOC. They want something similar for their new
Sol-Ark with EG4 LL batteries.

They will have smartphone app visibility, but they want something they can
see inside the house without picking up a phone or going out to the
inverter. Ideally the SOC will come from the inverter or the battery
itself, not an external source (to avoid discrepancies).
