I use Morningstar Corp controllers. Instead of using their remote meters, I took advantage of their ability to communicate with the MODBUS protocol. This is the same protocol you find in OBD II that is used to retrieve codes from your vehicle's computer. MODBUS is a widely used industry standard communication protocol.
Here is an example graph of what I can see from my controller's point of view. I have more graphs.
I use a Raspberry Pi to collect this data at one minute intervals. The graph is summarized to the hour.
You will need to read my profile for a description of my systems. I have two systems; one in the Van, and the other in my TT. The graph is from the Van's system.

Most awesome graph I've ever seen to understand this process. Well done.
