Hello!
Do any of you guys using a web based monitoring system for your off grid solar system?
Im thinking about something like the midnite monitor app.(but idont have a midnite CC..). And others..
I have been thinking about the www.watmon.com system , looking easy to install, but i like better the "midnite look" On the screen....
Any experience. Good or bad?

It depends on what kind of system you have. Outback won't talk to Midnight and visa versa so if you have mixed components you either end up with 2 different pieces of software or trying to find one that can read both devices.
If you are handy with computers, here is a fork of a really good one for Outback products.
I am currently working on this one with another guy who forked it from the original. It's web-based so it will run on pretty much anything.
