Aurora Inverter Software
We recently installed an Aurora 3.6kW solar inverter with 3.5kW of solar panels. Unfortunately the monitoring software that is provided with the inverter requires you to buy a Windows PC to run it. As we only use Apple Macs and Linux this presents a problem.
Based on some code by Kurt Blanks I have written a Java application that monitors one Aurora inverter over an Ethernet to RS232 interface. A screenshot is shown below.
This software is still somewhat work in progress so may need tweeking for individual requirements. If you want to give it a try please contact me.
Features:
- Written in Java(tm) so runs on PC, Mac, Linux or any computer supporting Java Runtime 1.5+
- Monitors one Aurora inverter over the network using an Ethernet to RS232 to network adapter
- Provides realtime and historical graphs
- Logs all data to an embedded Db4o database
- Links to PCOutput providing realtime and daily data
- Free ! and Open Source
