I have a Megarevo inverter. I want to install an Orange Pi to use with Solar Assistant, I want to know what recommendations you give me to energize the Pu inside the inverter, or in the Wireway. We did the installation, but I forgot how to power it without having to use a power extension cord. 2EC56792-1EAE-42A3-A24D-AD09B6A15751.jpeg

There's 12V on the two terminals on the far right of that row of green connectors. It'll do 1A max continuous. It's made for stuff like a TIGO remote solar shutdown. It looks like the Orange Pi needs more than 1A at 5V. There is 5V available inside the top cover, but you'd have to splice into wires/connectors to do it. There's probably 5V 1A available on CN35 between pins 1&4 and 12V 1A on CN37 between pins 1&4, if I remember right.
