Now "LIVE ON-LINE"

I have installed an RS-485 communications link to a Sunny Webbox, from SMA. The Webbox extracts the data from the inverter and passes it to the SMA web page for public display.

Later, I will be developing my own web page which will include my solar power data, along with current weather info with a live photo of the weather at the R J Ranch.
