Photovoltaic inverter monitoring or logging software

[Bret Busby <bret@busby.net>]

Hello.

I am wondering whether anyone on this list, has any knowledge or experience of 
software that runs on Linux, preferably Debian Linux, for monitoring/logging 
electricity output from a photovoltaic inverter.

In searching in the Debian packages facility, the only package that I found, 
was solarpowerlog (0.23a-2), for Debian Linux v7, and the package is apparently 
for only Solarmax inverters.

I am seeking software that will interface with Rewatt inverters, which 
apparently have an RS232 interface socket. The inverters come with a software 
disk, the supplied software apparently being for only MS Windows.

I have recently been told information about photovoltaic systems, that 
increases my curiosity, increasing the incentive to have continuous monitoring 
of output.

Thank you in anticipation.
