Wrenches and Kurt,
I've used such meters for battery systems, they are great but more complicated and expensive
than I'd like for this application. I was hoping to only log kWhrs of PV production (or wind)
in sell systems where the source does not make it to the battery. I have talked to Ethan
Brand at Brand electronics and he's coming out with a AC & DC multichannel meter which sounds
like it will be comparable with the pricey (yet sophisticated) Omnimeter, though I was still
hoping for something simpler and cheaper (easier for clients). Any ideas?
