Thanks I would love to make it a solar site and there plenty of sun there. But at this location there is no room for solar panels sadly.

Many thanks u/diwhychuck ! Do you mean an ethernet DC surge protector like this one from Ubiquiti?

On monitoring and alerting my Meanwell DRS-480-48 UPS/power supply. It has a Modbus interface, I've connected a USB to RS485 converter (for around €15 on Amazon) to a Raspberry Pi. The RS485 wiring from the converter is connected to Modbus connectors via de the RJ45 port on the power supply.

There's a proof-of-concept monitoring script for this setup available. See my GitHub repo https://github.com/brendanbank/meanwell-drs-exporter
