A small but mighty new feature allows project managers to a their own custom link to the public project dashboard. The link could take users to a custom project website, a Facebook page, a Flicker slideshow or any other web-excessible resource.
To add a custom link to your public project dashboard, enter the link via the project settings page in the projects portal, as illustrated in the image below.
Once that is done, a new menu item will be available in the 'more data' tab on the project dashboard. The new "more about this project" item will be a link to your own custom web presence for the project.

We now support inverters by Growatt. We've seen a lot of different makes of inverter and we were immediately impressed with the exceptional build quality of Growatt inverters. The many years they spent on R&D before realeasing their product has really paid off. Although they are relatively new to the market, they have already been very successful in Europe, Asia, Australia and now the US. More information on our Growatt support is available here: products/supportedinverters/Growatt.aspx.
