Automation, sensing and robotics • Logging solar output, battery status, and load

$

I'm building autonomous (solar with wireless data transmission) devices that record environmental conditions based on the Rasp Pi Zero W (and 2 W).

I'm expecting to use a power system that includes a 6 volt panel, a rechargeable lithium ion or polymer battery, and charger similar to Adafruit's bq24074 (https://www.adafruit.com/product/4755).

Does anyone have a solution that allows me to log several aspects of power generation and usage including solar output, battery voltage, current charge, and battery output/load? I assume this exists somewhere, and that maybe I'm just missing the right keywords. Maybe the bq24074 isn't the correct unit here, I'm not sure.
