So I decided to buy a PIP inverter of the 3024XX model(not finally decided yet)

I've seen the clunky windows software to control the thing(which is no problem for me for initial setup)
At the site where it will be installed I have planned a RasPi/BananaPi/etc, its a remote location with no grid power but 3G/4G reception, so I will be able to access the Pi via VPN.


Is there any web-based software in existence which could run on the raspberry, control it and maybe save some statistics? I can't seem to find any...
Possibility to turn AC on/off would also be a big plus.
 
There's a whole bunch. Search on github for mppsolar, voltronic or skymax should come up with lots of hits. Voltronic is the main manufacturer and the rest are all rebadged versions. Also there's minor differences between some versions, mostly in the way the checksum bit is calculated I believe. Otherwise the protocol is well documented.

Over here there's a few threads on it.

Daromer's Raspberry PI does it https://secondlifestorage.com/t-Esperyds-Raspberry-PI-project

nrm21's skymax clone https://secondlifestorage.com/t-Inverter-polling-software-for-Linux

I currently use the skymax clone with Raspberry PI/influxdb/grafana/telegraf to monitor the output. Using that over daromer's build because skymax was easier to understand on my basic knowledge and I wanted some custom fields. When I have some free time I'm switching to another version that's done in Python that I saw on github.

You could use FHEM. I wrote a small extension module to support the PIP. See here: https://forum.fhem.de/index.php/topic,85602.msg818157.html#msg818157

thx, I played around with FHEM for some time for my pool, but never finished the automation I wanted, then I changed to IObroker(and also never finished ;-)

thx, I did search on github, bit PIP3024 didnt bring up a lot, I will check these out when I get my inverter!
 
solar-sis that i made is generic and you can add whatever system you want. its just a system for easily talking to a serial device like an inverter. It has protocols for 4048 as example and if it differs from yours you need to set it up.
 
Depends on IF you bought a genuine One or a fake One.
