Fuck Renogy and Avoid that Renogy 1 M1 Controller
Renogy's website looks professional, but the stuff they have to monitor their own products is very finicky. Shameless plug: if you want to mess with a raspberry pi and collecting data yourself: https://github.com/wildmountainfarms/solarthing. There are also other repos on github that do the same thing, usually integrating with some database with examples for getting Grafana up and running to make your own dashboard. I can access my solarthing instance from anywhere and view data in an android notification. It does take some tech knowledge to setup, especially if you want to access data off your local network.

Wifi Solar Charge Controller
If you want to do sis me tinkering on an RPi you could use something like my project, SolarThing: https://github.com/wildmountainfarms/solarthing

Monitor charge controller remotely with wifi?
I'll drop my project here: https://github.com/wildmountainfarms/solarthing
- Renogy 48V controller and Hub monitoring
- Do NOT buy Renogy if you are remote without cell service. Their app now REQUIRES you to login to use it every time it restarts.

Monitoring energy production and battery I/O
If you're OK with not having data from a shunt and only data from your charge controller, there are many DIY solutions out there to connect to your charge controllers serial port and get data using Modbus. If you use a Renogy product or have an EPEver tracer, my SolarThing project can monitor both of those: https://github.com/wildmountainfarms/solarthing

what software for pc are you guys using to monitor solar systems
I've made some software that works on renogy controllers (also compatible with a few other brands). https://github.com/wildmountainfarms/solarthing
