    Sadly my gen meter is in the loft, which is why I monitor my generation via a computer up there with an RS232 connection directly to the inverter. I've proven its accuracy by a few daily readings, and upload that to PVOutput. So this means I only read the gen meter to supply EON with fit readings
    The other 2 I view as more of a tool to see how much power I am using compared to generation so I can maximise the use of my generated energy (a bit like your Wattson).
    Seems to work very accurately, I had a new ABB Inverter fitted early last year, that is more accurate than the old 'Power One' that was installed previously...:)

    Well, I had a cracking day with 4.000 O's..:beer::rotfl:..coffee.gif.....Do

    2.5 kWp PV system, SSW facing, 45 Deg Roof. ABB Inverter, Monitor: 'Wattson'.
    Reg. for FIT Nov 2011. "It's not what you generate; it's how you use it that matters". One very clean Vauxhall Diesel Sri, £30.00 Road Tax: B)

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