Hi all,

Hopefully this makes some sense but apologies if it doesn't, it's my first post.
I've got a 5.5kw system with battery storage that's been in place for about 2 years. I was previously with Social Energy (should have left them a lot sooner than I did) and their system provided fairly decent energy monitoring. From the start I installed separate wifi monitoring on both the solar and battery inverters to keep an eye on things but now I've left Social Energy, I'm a bit limited in the way that I can view the data.
The Sofar Solar inverter gives a decent view of everything generated but doesn't really talk to the Solax battery inverter.
The Solax battery inverter does have a visualisation for grid feed in/out, battery usage etc. and when solar is being generated an 'other' section does appear but it's not something that gets logged.
Ideally I'm after a piece of software that can integrate the two data sets that I can feed with the API's for each inverter and act as a nice front end that interprets it all. Does such a thing exist?
I think the only other alternative is to look at hardware like the MyEnergy Harvi/Eddi system that has a decent front end and basically sticks a bunch of clamps on everything.
Thanks for any help/advice/guidance anyone can give!
 
I'm not aware of anything that will do what you want. Might be worth looking at Geo Solar to see if they have a display gadget to suite your needs.
