Schneider Inverter Monitor

Schneider Electric’s RS-232 port provides for direct connection to a PC, and there are several third-party applications to collect and display the information. They also offer the GT Solar Inverter Monitor, which is wired to the inverter and is basically a remote version of the inverter faceplate meter. Slightly enhanced, it can show combined and separate information for up to five inverters. Their wireless gateway display can feed their Yahoo! widget via Ethernet or WiFi, but there is no Internet access to inverter data. Third party apps give you access to the raw data. I have a Schneider system and have built my own open-source solar monitoring application for it (mike-land.com/Solar_Power/solar_power.html).
