MJCM Posted November 25, 2022 Share Posted November 25, 2022 After our Solar install I would like to monitor our TOTAL House usage from both Solar and PEA. So I am looking for a Power Meter which will monitor this. Any recommendations please for such a Device. Would prefer if it can transmit it's Data via BT or Wifi. Thx Ps: Something like this https://www.lazada.co.th/products/6in1-220v-380v-100a-meter-power-factor-active-kwh-volt-amp-ct-i3255354593-s12088879147.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Crossy Posted November 25, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted November 25, 2022 We're using two RS-485 meters to monitor import/export and solar generation separately. For WiFi or Bluetooth how about this chap https://www.lazada.co.th/products/jiuch-at4pw-100a-tuya-wifibluetooth-din-rail-ac-220v-110v-amp-factor-meter-meter-household-electricity-bill-power-monitor-i4158892709-s16330777444.html Did you install a big enough box for it to live in? 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crossy Posted November 25, 2022 Share Posted November 25, 2022 There's a massive variety of things like this on AliExpress, including units for landlords. Cut of your tenant's power to "encourage" them to pay their rent whilst sitting on the beach with an icy beer (or a Pina-colada) of course. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluejets Posted November 25, 2022 Share Posted November 25, 2022 Most inverters have some form of energy meter internally already. Can't imagine why you would need another on the solar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will B Good Posted November 26, 2022 Share Posted November 26, 2022 There seems to be some confusion here......... power is a measure of the rate at which energy transfers....and is measured in Watts or, if the numbers are big kilowatts The amount of energy transferred is measured in Joules, or if the numbers are big kilowatt-hours. Kilowatts = Power Kilowatt-hours = Energy Appleogies if I am teaching anyone to suck eggs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
