Re: Solar Panel
Setup some energy monitoring. Using Arduino and Raspberry Pi. Just Temporary setup for now but it monitors Voltage and Current from Solar panels. Sends that data to http://emoncms.org/thumperup.
Next step is to also include Battery voltage monitoring.

Re: Solar Panel
Very cool. How many watts is your setup generating on average? Have you implemented batteries or are you only using it during the day?
