Solar Joules are catch and release
The hardware's done, plus or minus some covers for the batteries, now it's all software work. I've got a dedicated RPi in the Primary inverter box talking to both inverters and harvesting all the useful data every 10 seconds, updating Redis locally and MQTT in the main house, and logging to SQL every minute. In the main house the MQTT server also populates Redis and logs to SQL every minute, plus monitors stuff and (for instance) sends me an email every day when I reach 100% SOC on the batteries so I know it's time to waste some power. 8*)
The ChargeVerters get their power from a couple of relays switched by the Generator Dry Contacts of the Primary inverter, and are currently set to 'turn on the generator' at 10% SOC and 'turn off the generator' at 50% SOC.
