Well, so long and thanks for all the fish.

It was a good run, and I sure appreciate all I learned from you.

Mr Solar Guppy pioneered a new industry,supporting it's enthusiasts, (us) with advice, freeware and helping the businesses tune their MPPT algorithms.

Alas, his website has gone dark, with the Evil Hordes winning. Perhaps he will release a archive of his site, or maybe the software which he wrote. Please ?

    That is too bad, Solar Guppy was one of the most professional sites around, sorry to see the site go down.

    Hopefully he will continue to post here when he has time.

    I have 3 inverters tied to my automation system thru a mess of reading the serial data. I would like to use what Solar Guppy has already done for the Xantrex inverters and modify to work "cleaner." Does anyone know if the source code is available or where I can get it. It would be very helpful for me. Thanks
