    Don't have a total yet but had 3.2kwh by mid day so looking good.
    Now for a question, can you have more than one energy monitor connected to your meter cable as I am thinking of buying one but already have an iboost connected.
    While on the subject of the iboost buddy I have noticed in the morning that it registers a small export before the geo ii starts to register any generation?.
    How does your geo daily read compare to your generation meter read?:cool:

    Definition of 'O's = kWh/kWp (kWh = your daily & accurate Generation figure) (kWp = the rated output of your PV Panels).

    You can have a dozen of them if you want - but you do need to make sure that the clamps aren't so close that they interfere with each other. Leaving a few inches gap along the cable should be OK (so my light-hearted dozen would mean your meter tail needs to be at least four feet long :D )

    Havent compared them exactly.
    Just noticed that just after 8am the iboost is registering an export even with fridge/freezer and other background stuff running but the geo will stay on zero for some time.

    What energy monitors work with solar panels to give you a net figure for energy use.

    ajbell, the immerSUN monitoring does that but you need the immerSUN first of course. You get generated, imported, exported, diverted and overall house consumption
