I built a voltage monitor to fill in the gaps of where my Outback controller does not report voltage at end of day, and now able to store data to sql server.
WiFi ESP8266 Voltage monitor, how I made it.

- Results, and things I love, things that need
improvement.
Need something to fix voltage spike of -65 V
For unknown reason unit does not power back on after
reset set with inverter kicks off...????
If I power this board from the solar charger USB it
drops voltage by 1/2 ????
Where do I want to go from here. ESP32
I would like to have this run off a battery, and switch
to a esp 32 board so that I could use less power, perhaps
mount in car and have it report battery status.
Considering mounting solar panel.
Creating a voltage monitor for my 24 V batteries over WIFI. I now have the ESPeasy reading the data. Created a voltage
divider for the ADS1115 6V dc input.
