How can I save long term history records?

Hi,

I just installed my equipment and it seems to be running fine for about two weeks now.

I am wondering how i can record the energy that is produced. Not only for the last 30 days (as I undestood is done by the MPPT) but just for the upcoming months and years.

A friend of mine has solar panels for at least 4 years now and his app is able to read back all the energy his system produced, by the year, month, week and even per day.


How can I get / record this sort of information with my setup?

thanks,

Charles

Hi Charles,


Just email the history to yourself.

When in the history tab, you will see a symbol - 3 dots joined by 2 lines (just under TRENDS), tap the symbol and fill in your email address.

Hi,


yes i found that option but this means that you have to email the ‘30days’ history roughly every month to myself. Not impossible, just a bit clumsy and not very failproof. Not to mention that one need to convert the ‘Day number’ to a specific date.

thanks anyway.

Charles

Thanks Guy,

The LoRaWan is interesting though I have no idea if I am in the reach of an antenne. As far as I understand there is no such thing that is just plug n play into my home internet so I can connect with the Victron equipement from outside. (same idea as I can access my NAS disks located in my house)

To see if you have a LoRaWAN gateway in your area use this map:
