Interesting idea. I currently run 18 solar panels and am adding 14 more, at
my school. The software is Windows, as you say... .

In a year or so, I'm installing forty panels at my home property. I'd far
prefer to use Mac software. I'll ask my son, a programmer at UWA, about it.
Get back to you once I get a response... .
