Which Solar Output monitor?

TamsinC

SO our panels finished going up today. The inverter comes with the Solarman app. Is it worth getting something else as well? Owl or SoloII for example? Anyone got any advice? Many thanks.

Hi
Mine was done last week with same app. It works ok but it’s no good to show instant production as all info is delay by at least 5 minutes. I purchased a geo minim plus led version which goes onto the generation meter and shows me instantly what’s being generated.

We use one of the "free" energy monitors that some of the Big 6 use to provide.

Got a used one of ebay for about £10.

The clip goes round one of the cables where it links into the Henley block and transmits the reading to the display unit in the lounge.

Provides an instant display of how much is being generated.

Might not be as accurate as other, more expensive monitors, but we find it good enough.
