Here's a stab at it, but let me know what you think:
- How much power the panels are producing
- How much power is being exported to the grid
- The state of the battery
- Duration of battery at current consumption
- Time until the Battery is recharged
- Alert if there are any problems with a panel (e.g., under producing for conditions - that is it's sunny but not getting the expected power)
- API to the smart panel
