William – Likely the easiest way to do this is to get a Speedwire module for each inverter (SWDM-US-10). You can daisy chain the two inverters together with Ethernet cable once the modules are installed, and one output cable will come to a router/hub.
A windows based laptop/PC running the free Sunny Explorer software on the same local area network as the inverters can view the data locally. This may be enough information for what you envision. More info here: https://www.sma-america.com/products/monitoring-control/sunny-explorer.html If you have internet access from the router, you can also register the system on Sunny Portal. Depending on the “kiosk” setup, you can do several things. If no one can adjust the computer settings, you could just leave the display on the home screen of this plant on Sunny portal. Also, the System overview page (or Energy and Power page) has a hyperlink that you can then embed in another webpage, so you could construct a Kiosk page as desired and embed the link as a image element. This is a static image representation of the portal page when the request is sent, so you would want the page to re-load automatically at fixed intervals. Feel free to contact me for more info.

From: RE-wrenches <re-wrenches-boun...@lists.re-wrenches.org> On Behalf Of William Miller Sent: Wednesday, February 13, 2019 1:42 PM To: RE-wrenches <re-wrenches@lists.re-wrenches.org> Subject: [RE-wrenches] SMA Kiosk Friends: I am in need of providing a public “kiosk” to display the output of two SMA TL-22 inverters in a lobby. I believe I need a web connect box, a data card in each inverter and that the system works through Sunny Portal. I am reading up on the literature. Sometimes the literature does not include the whole picture. Does anyone have any experience with setting up a system like this? Any words of advice? Thanks in advance. William Miller
