I wanted to see what my solar equipment system was doing in real time when my system was installed so I brought a solar-log 200 web/wireless monitor which connects to my Fronius 15 months ago
I found a brilliant android app called solaranalyzer (spellings correct) yesterday from play store and downloaded it to my nexus 7 tablet. I brought the £15 top of the range version but they do sell lower spec versions if your budget wont stretch
System
Reading from 1[SUP]st[/SUP] Jan 2012 to December 31[SUP]st[/SUP] 2012
Fronius IG 30 inverter 2.6kw System
Fronius wireless plug in card
Solar-log 200 Wi-Fi
Revenue £1245.39p
Generated 2703.3kWh
Best day 26 may generated 19.3kWh Revenue £ 8.89
Plus the 38% drop in our electric bills with solar and economy 10 electric tariff
I don’t own the system it was installed by HomeSun free under the rent a roof scheme. Being home most of the time these days it was a good choice for us at the time.
If you want to pay even less in your electric bill go on the Economy 10 tariff we are with EDF and Eon offer it. You may need to push for it hard. As in its name you get 10 hours off peak between midnight to 6 am (GMT) then 2 hours then 1pm to 4pm (GMT) then 8pm-10pm (GMT) Most meter fitters say they don’t have economy 10 meters anymore they tried that with me so I phoned up EDF and asked what was going on they said gives 20 minutes we will get back to you, next call from the meter fitters was to book us an appointment the next day
. I brought my Solar-log hardware direct the software at the time was basic for computers plus take in to account tablet devices were not a round at the time/today prices but monitoring software which at the time was poor considering the equipment cost and setup. Being disabled and unable to get in the loft solar-log promised to install it free for me. But as soon as I bought it they reneged on the fitting and have not been in touch since, not even to say they tied up with solar analyzer to offer a better experience
