Example installation - Axpert parallel
Hardware
- 2x Axpert MKSII (Supplied by Full Circle Solar)
- 3x Pylontech US3000
- SolarAssistant
The standard USB cable that came with the inverter is used. SolarAssistant can read both inverters through a single cable plugged into one inverter.

A Raspberry Pi that runs the SolarAssistant. The software is extremely robust and was designed to continuously run for years. The software has a low CPU requirement which makes the device run at low temperatures without the need for a fan. Typically only a heat sink is used in the Raspberry Pi so there is no moving parts.
