    Well I can already say today is going to be the worst I have had.

    Not even 1kwh yet, and thunder and lightning flashing around.


    Oh by the way, no clamp system for monitoring works with the Solis inverter due to it drawing current during it's dormant time, without any wattage, so erroneous readings from clamp based monitors.

    Any ideas for a pulse monitor, but also want to be able to monitor usage, Owl would be perfect if the PV side was pulse based.
