In 2007 I bought a set of 7 second hand solar panels. I installed them on the roof of my garage.

With the panels, the need arose to know how much power they are producing. Of course I could buy some meter to measure it, but occupied in hardware and software development I wanted to do better. This gave rise to the Solar Power project. During this project a system was created using a Beck IPC@Chip reading out a gross production pulse meter.
