    Eric,

    Right Hand Engineering and Intellact sell system monitoring software for PC's, which in turn plug into an OutBack Mate's serial port. I have little experience with either. Right Hand also makes some software for the Xantrex battery monitors (Link-10 and XBM), but I no familiarity with that that apparently new product.
