MppSolar Web Software

[GreenPower]

Hi all,

Here's a sample of my website software that I have been working on, I have an MppSolar MPI 5.5K Hybrid Inverter.
It runs on any Linux system like a Raspberry Pi and communicates directly using USB to Serial rs232.
I also have code to Suit the Hybrid V / V2 and Non Hybrid Models
Written in Perl, PHP, Uses RRD graphs.

Features:
User Input: Sending commands
Automatic Timer Function : On/Off Peak settings
Reads Next Days Weather Forecast and Sets the Depth of Discharge for that night.
Automatic Ac Charging Boost: Reading overall grid export and can turn On/Off AC Charger and adjust Amps.

Can read data from any BMS and Make Automatic adjustment to the charge settings for Using Lifep04 Batteries

Its still under development.

Are online resources available for building the software?

I'm assuming MPPSolar has provided the API and/or the drivers; do they support Golang or Rust?

Also I don't have a Pi; can it be done on a Raspbian guest VM?

I'm actually using ESXi on a older macbook and running Debian VM, so a Pi is not really necessary, it could be easier for some.
Just as long as your Hypervisor allows you to pass on USB to the VM.

Once I clean up the code, I will look for programmers to contribute and possibly put up on GitHub.

cheers

cool stuff. I i have about 5 mppsolar inverters from 5k to 11kw something like this would be really nice and helpful. specially if this gets contributed by the community. currently there are like 3-4 similar programs and non of them is complete i think the reason is not being open source.

anyways can't wait to see what you come up with.
