Essential sofware for anyone with a Voltronic inverter. Gives a lot more flexibility and insight into operation of the system. Uploading of data to the cloud (PVOutput and EmonCMS) is also very useful to monitor your system.

iam using this from the beginning on my pi3 and it works awsome good,super with emoncms (local).
the dev. is more than anyone can dream off!!! support is like heaven!!
ofcourse if you dont know anything of linux or the inverter itself,i can see its dif. but ask help on the forum and they will help you for sure!!
its the best software to monitor axpert,pip,infini versions (m2c)
and iam from belgium…
thx for the support and keep it up!
Chris Ammer –
a five star Rating from my side…… outstanding support service……… top of the range software.
I had no experience with a pi but the support team helped me to setup the whole system from scratch. The ICC and MQTT is up running now since day 1 without any problems.
Top of the range software – top of the range support – highly recommended.
Thanks to Manie & Team… they walk the extra mile for a customer – you guys rock.

I agree, I have been using this software since Dec 2016 at a client site and it just works. I just could not figure out how to get it to start automatically when the Pi reboots but that is because my Linux is so rusty it is basically dangerous. I did load Teamviewer though so I can get to it to fix that.
Keep it up. It is the only real remote monitoring solution for Axperts that I have come accross. I am buying another license today…

***BEST SOFTWARE FOR MONITORING ***
***5 Star Rating for support ***
I running the ICC and MQTT on Raspberry Pi 3 and is up and running no, I have remote from my Windows machine and from my Android phone on my MPP 4048 MSD.
Thanks Manie for all your help,

Fantastic software and Support. I read through the reviews above and ALL points are spot on, except 1 obviously. Out the box Watchpower was just not enough for me so I’ve been searching a long time. Tried various ones and luckily found ICC. The standard ICC software is more than enough, but the option of exporting to emoncms makes it very interesting creating your own dashboards etc. I run 2 inverters currently.
If you want to put software out in the market place you must provide proper support, so THANK YOU Manie for your exceptional support and quick responses!!!!

Just a short note to thank Manie for constantly striving to make ICC better and more stable.
I think from the screenshot attached (Early Saturday morning [1000 running hours] ) we can all see that ICC Pi is running stable with no issues.
Keep up the good work.
Running ICC Pi V2.2.1;
Axpert 3kVa; Local emon; EmonWeb; PVOutput.org and MQTT
I can honestly recommend ICC Pi, this is a great tool and ideal to monitor state and values of you Solar setup.

Hi
This is a awesome piece of software!!!
I’m in Australia, and uses the Software and a MPP invertor for load shifting to a very very cheap time at night here. IE charge my 9600 Ah Solar batteries at cheap time and use to power during the day. Nice!!!
With my solar feeding system (different) I’m now getting money! How is that!
Thanks guys….great work!!
Andries Grundling –
Excellent software,and Excellent support! Even afterhour support when my raspberry pi was damaged by huge lightning strike.
Justin Burnett (verified owner) –
These guys are amazing, almost as amazing as their software. The support from these guys, Particularly Manie is out of this word. No issue is too big, Manie has been there every step of the way helping and guiding me through. Even when i wanted the software to do more, Manie just added that functionality to their software.
If i could give a 10 star rating i would.
Helgard de Villiers –
This software was precisely what I was looking for, together with my RCT Axpert 5k this works perfectly. I can view my whole solar system remotely. Shout out to Manie for the exceptional service rendered. He went the extra mile! Keep up the good work!!
Justin Doubell –
Fantastic software that works exactly as advertised. Great friendly service to go with your purchase!

I am using ICC with Axpert and Narada batteries. After some initial teething issues with the Narada batteries I got the suport I required and I am now a happy and satisfied customer.

I have ICC connected up to my ACDC branded version of the 3kva Axpert. Awesome software, shot to Manie for the help with setting up. With VNC viewer you can monitor your system from your phone, A word of advise rather copy paste the Key by logging in via VNC Viewer
Andries –
ICC is one of the best software that is build for almost every inverter out there,
The Support for this software is more then 5 star rating.
Special thanx to Manie for always available for software related queries
