see Jan 24 8:59 post, a few pages down...

I thought that I saw them in one of your posts on the BBB or ??

tried to copy/save/paste it but no go on that

That looks like Graham's Android app for the Classic. Same gauges and same tabs.

thanks John, I knew they were posted on this forum somewhere...
Tried to view the 2 minute video at the start, 4 th down on this link,

but it just locks up or ??

The buss is pretty cool. Never seen it personally but I have worked with her a couple times tuning the Classic.

If you look at one of the pics it shows the back of the bus.... its got overlapping panels all at different angles, etc...  they obviously don't produce much as almost all get shadowed... too bad , someone should tell her ...

[Halfcrazy]

I think thats why Solar mode has been troublesome for her. The strings have different MPP voltage.

I see she's also using the apps PVOutput upload feature

all she needs now is the whizbangJr to enable the SOC & Consumption tabs

Nice Graham,  How is she getting Consumption data?  is she just entering that in?

[Westbranch]

based on Ryans comment she needs more than just that info, she is losing a lot of potential power...

hope this works...look at those panels, believe they are home made by her...

She's getting 2-3KW per/day per the data at PVOutput. She has panels on the roof of that bus also.

My app just uploads the daily energy, she might be using something else, the site supports a number of ways to upload data, CSV, HTTP posts etc.
