I'm looking for a reliable device to monitor the voltage and amperage coming from my solar panels. The power goes from the panels to a building where there's a junction (no appliances connected), and from there, it runs another 100 meters to a hybrid inverter. I want to set up a monitoring device at this junction so I can easily check the amps and voltage without having to walk all the way to the inverter. The inverter is too far from the WiFi for connectivity, and the panels output a total of 330V and 6.5A at max. Any recommendations for equipment that can help?

You might want to consider getting WiFi to your inverter instead. If there's a line of sight, point-to-point WiFi antennas, like Ubiquiti NanoStation, could help you get connectivity. This way, you’ll not only be able to monitor the inverter but also control it and get more detailed consumption data, which could be really beneficial.
Is it true that there’s no device just for monitoring voltage and amps without WiFi?
