The only thing I wish it did have was PC/IP based interface. So if there is something specific for solar panels, even better. In our case we can only use traditional power so this product was a good fit for us. I'm also currently using a IP based thermostat that be controlled remotely and can extract data to generate rrdtool graphs: http://www.anders.com/projects/thermostat-graph/ @Rob M: My in-laws (otherwise known as outlaws) looked into this product to work with their solar panels and it will not work when it goes backwards.

I've been meaning to look to see if something like this exists. Sometime last year, I checked out a company called Citizenrē that will install solar panels and generators in your house and have a network enabled app to monitor it. This page has some info on it: http://renu.citizenre.com/index.php?p=sys_monitoring I think there's a better page that shows this desktop widget they have that you can use to monitor your system in real time... couldn't find that at the moment though.
