Solar Assistant - Data Logging on steroids - the All new Orange version with functional HDMI output

Whoa, exactly what I was looking for! Thanks!

Great overview thank you!

Nice, I need one of these!

One suggestion, a link to the product would be awesome.

This looks fantastic. Is it possible to connect two different batteries to the system? I have a Sunsynk battery connected to my inverter and I'm just about to self-build my own 48v battery with a Daly BMS

Great video!! i just ordered one for my Sol-Ark system. One question. Do I have to remove my current wifi dongle to use this, or can they both be used? I ask this due to receiving periodic updates from Sol-Ark.

Very nice!

Man you made my day thank you very much for this i bumped into your video and i was shocked since i tried to connect my chinese inverter to adapter it was a nightmare but this is heaven. I would kiss you on the a$$ for this 😂😂. I had the raspery pi 3 since 2016 now i can make use of it thank you!!.

Nice Video, I did not see a mention about SD card. Do I add for local storing of Data or does the PI store on itself or when wifi connected to my router wifi passes the info to a cloud?

Hi. Thanks for the vid. How do you connect the Solar Assistant orange Pi to two 8kw Sunsynk inverters in parrallel?

It is a wonderful thing for sure. I have 2 different mpp inverters but, can only connect to one at a time. The minute I connect or select both ports at the same time, one says no response when it tries to connect. I suspect a comport conflict but, am not sure how to resolve it thanks for any help.

I've been using SA for almost a year now and I'm addicted to it. It's there first thing in the morning, last thing at night and multiple times during the day. Can I connect a 2nd inverter with it's own battery bank to the system or will I need a separate PI with it's own URL?

Hello, may i know what is the model of your victron smart shunt that is compatible with a solar assistant? Thank you

You state in this video that multiple growatt sc48120"s can be monitored, how would one go about this? The only way I have been able to connect mine is thru "double USB to DB9 adapters" . I have been unable to get the rs485 port on the growatt to work with solar assistant. I am using jk BMS' and have the growatt set manually as it will not communicate the jk bms.

Every nagging question answered, thanks a lot!👍

Hi Ian can the solar assistant works with PowMr inverter they are similar to the mpp solar inverters. So let me know please thanks.

Very very good. The cables supplied with the Voltronic inverter are not good. I got it by mistake.

I like my solar assistant I got from you. I have a small issue, I connected a flat screen through the hdmi port on my orange. It only shows dashboard,frozen on values that where live when plugged in.wont update to current values. It works good on my phone. Please advise.

1) Thanks, is this a different version of the web app, when I click on the solar pv icon on first tab I don't get that nice overview ? 2) I have a similar setup, and now have both inverters (they are not yet? configured to work in parallel), they have separate usb cables and the inverter is display them both well, however the Solar (Yellow graph, I forgot were to set the max so that its not stuck at 8kw but can go to 16kw), the values are correct. ) Are your inverters configured in parallel ? it seems simpler to keep them separate ?

Ian, does this work with Schneider xanbus?
