Hi all.
First post here. Looks like a good resource.
I manage a couple off grid cabins that run some loads off a small (2, 280 watt panel) solar system with 24v, 400Ah lead-acid battery storage. These cabins get rented, and it's tough to know how much energy is being used. We're looking to upgrade the solar array capacity.
I am looking to get an energy monitor, but everything I find needs wi-fi. Any leads on a device that will log the data internally? It would we good if several weeks to a months worth of data could be stored and then viewed or exported for computer viewing.
I came across loggers like ones shown here: https://microdaq.com/data-loggers/energy-power.php
but I don't think these are really energy monitors so much as voltage / current quality trackers (not nearly enough sampling it seems).
Our system uses a Conext SW inverter, which does appear to have ability to connect to a 'Combox.' It sort of looks like this Combox might log energy usage?
