We have a couple Sunny Portal kiosks out in the world. It's quite easy to set up, but the downside to it is how lackluster the information displayed looks on a screen. Especially considering how nice these kiosks look when using a Solaredge or Fronius inverter. Here are examples of what each

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

LG will also log temp, current, voltage, Soc, and determine Sol. The Sol will be used along with other logged data for warranty. I would be careful with surges, it was the reason LG decided not to market their 48V line of RESU's in North America. Deep well pumps killed a few in Australia and

Jay, The inverter will do 5kW to backup with 7.6kW surge. My understanding is that it will draw from the PV as a priority and then battery. The battery can do this power level also, though LG recommends keeping to 3.3kW most of the time for longer battery life. I'm not sure how much effect the
