I just want something to tell me how much power I'm making per day/week/month etc.I honestly do not understand the desire to network a solar system. Just walk over to the inverter and look. If the lights are on, it's still working.
I agree in the sense that there should be no need to constantly monitor the system, change settings or interact with it frequently. However, as we well know these systems are not "Turn on and forget it" so there needs to be a convenient way to conduct periodic checks.I honestly do not understand the desire to network a solar system.

I recent got my 6000EX up and running. The WIFI and SolarPower APP does enough for me to remotely monitor and change setting on my system. The only issue is the lack of real-time data, but it has historical data with time stamps with updates every 5 minutes. It will show daily generation totals if thats what your looking for. I would give it a try and see if it meets your needs.I'm getting my system up and running. Is there a network or wifi connection ?
If not is there someway to connect them to a network ? Thanks
Where did you get the SolarPower APP ? Is it an andriod app ? How did you get the inverter on wifi, I don't see it in the manual. ThanksI recent got my 6000EX up and running.

The Android app is called watchpower, same name as the version on Windows PC. Here is how it looks on my Windows 11. It has a simple animation showing where power is coming and going plus all the parameter's values.I searched this forum and learned of the APP then downloaded it from the Apple APP Store. I just checked and it’s available in the Google APP Store.
