OK, I have a Fronius IG30 inverter do i need to open it up to see if I have a data connection?
Are you trying to download your generation data?
GaryMo has a Fronius inverter in his system and has been logging data to the AVF Team on PV Output, he may be able to help you.
Mine is a Transformerless inverter which supports data collection via a USB stick.
The data is uploaded to Fronius solar access software and I manually add the data to pvoutput.
Yes when I heard some of you were doing it I wondered if I could too. Mine are a free set up and a modem on the meter sends the info to Head Office, I don't know if the inverter has any cards in it to allow me to access it.
I believe a Current Cost EnviR meter with NetSmart bridge can upload data every 5 minutes or so to PVOutput without the need to have your PC switched on. Both generation and consumption data can be logged with the right equipment.

Thanks, I'll have a look.
Daft question........what would it mean to you if you could get an extra 500watts of power out of your panels?
What would it mean? Extra money I guess but how could you do that?
