Hi there, my inverter is in my garage so when I`m at home I can monitor my generation via a GeoSolo monitor I have in my kitchen, which works perfectly well.
I wondered if anyone knew of a way I could monitor my generation via the internet/smart phone....I should add some details here :-
There is a telephone socket right beside the inverter which I can use somehow, although there is not a router handy as that is in my dining room.

Maybe there is a piece of equipment out there people use that I don`t know about,

Cheers!
 
Hi, it`s a Samil 3.68 KW Inverter.

Not at home at the moment but I think its - Samil Solar River 4000TL-D
 
Geo do another which connects via your router. You can monitor via the internet or use the display. Think it is the solo 2 or go for the Chorus and monitor the import and PV. More expensive though
 
we use current cost for this with a net bridge, as a relatively inexpensive solution. It's not perfect, but does the job reasonably well.
 
Hi if it is the solar river 4000tl-d then you have built in cloud monitoring a standard. You'll need to run an Ethernet cable to the inverter from your modem and then sign up at samil powers website. Not used it personally but apparently not bad for a basic set up
 
Hmm looks like it`s actually the SolarRiver3680TL.....no cloud monitoring as standard on this one?

As my inverter is in the garage I was planning on running the ethernet cable to a homeplug, only way I can see of getting a cnnection to my inverter.
 
Sounds daft but is it a rectangle inverter with sharp edges or would you describe it as rounded on the edges? Different series's have the options/ add on's.
 
Go for geo chorus PV sold by Amazon takes 30 minutes to install with no tools. The price difference
is that this model show you what going to the grid or from the grid.(cheaper models don't show this) Comes with display .works on the Internet and mobile phone
 
The OWL Intuition looks quite good too... unless anybody else knows otherwise. Check if you need the Y Cable Kit too, but when installed correctly (not too difficult) it'll also tell you net import/export and has data logging/download via web interface, as well as smartphone access.
